Murphy Tartan Historical Background
This tartan is a color modification of MacLean of Duart. It was claimed that it was first recorded in ‘Clans Originaux’ as Murphy but was so popular it was later renamed ‘Tara’ the first reference to that name was in 1967. See also, O’Keefe. For many years the claim that this was from Clans Originaux (published in Paris in 1880) was accepted without question. In 2003 however, the Tartans Authority obtained photocopies of the contents pages of the only copy known to exist and they revealed that of the 185 tartans shown, not one of them was Irish. This ‘fiction’ has been absorbed into tartan history unfortunately and it will take many years to eradicate.
The only copy known to exist is owned by Pendleton Mills in Portland, Oregon. Sample in STA Dalgety Collection. An interesting note in DC Stewart’s Nomindex. “This is obviously the same tartan known as Tara. During the 1977 International Gathering of the Clans in Edinburgh, this sett was sold to an American visitor as being Murphy.
