The MacLeod of Lewis tartan has a bright yellow background crossed with blacks, embellished with a filament of red.

The MacLeods are Norse, descended from Leod, the son of Olaf the Black, King of Mann and the Isles. Leod’s sons were the progenitors of two main branches of the clan – the Clan of Torquil in Lewis and the Clan of Tormod in Skye and Harris.

The MacLeods were vassals (subjects) of the Lords of the Isles but managed to avoid forfeiture of their lands after James IV had asserted his right over the Gaelic clans of the Hebrides. However, they were forced to defend their possessions with the sword against the interests of rival clans.

The Waverley Scotland Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks each with 176 pages (left side blank, right side ruled), acid-free, thread sewn, 80 gsm cream shade pages, are bound in genuine Scottish tartan cloth over board, with round cornered cover and book block corners, stained edges and a matching elastic enclosure. Available from mid-January 2016.
