- Notes:
The official sample for thread count came from a coarse kilt in the possession of Dr. John MacFadyen of Stirling. The material was handwoven and made by a weaver in Rogart.
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.
