MACCOLL (MODERN) Choose:By the metre If you are unsure ofThe MacColl tartan was produced by Wilson's of Bannockburn in 1797 under the name of 'Bruce', later known as 'Old Bruce'. The MacColls are a branch of the Clan Donald who settled around Loch Fyne. Some of the clan living in the Ballachulish area took protection from the Stewart of Appin.
