The origins of this tartan are unclear, but it is likely quite modern.

The name MacLellan is Scottish Gaelic in origin. It is derived from MacGille Fholain which means "son of the servant of St Fillan." The MacLellans were numerous in Galloway. The first MacLellan on record was Duncan MacLellan who appears on a charter of Alexander II of Scotland in 1217. During the Wars of Scottish Independence, Maclellan of Bombie was among the close followers of Sir William Wallace when he left Kirkcudbright for France after the defeat at the Battle of Falkirk (1298).
