Same as MacBean. From the MacGregor Hastie Collection which forms the basis of the cloth archive of the Scottish Tartans Society. Some of the samples were unmarked. One can assume that the official sample dates between 1930 and 1950. Dalgety Archives say "Holm Mills, 1869 (worn at Battle of Culloden). Dalgety note says: " D C Stewart in his book maintains "end of 18th century MacBean Chief was wearing MacIntosh with a black line centred on the red ground. This tartan has a blue line on the red and could be the original."

MacFadyen is a sept of Clan Mclaine of Lochbuie. The name is from the Gaelic "MacPhaidein" -- "little Pat", meaning son of Paidin, a diminutive of Padraig (Patrick). The name is first recorded in Kintyre in 1304. The McFadyens were the original owners of the lands at Lochbuie. They are also known as "Sliocht Nan Or-Cheard", "The Race of Goldsmiths" on the Isle of Mull.
