I've always been super-jealous that the MacBean, MacLachlin, and MacMillan have such awesome illustrations, and Gordon is just a guy fishing...

The MacRae one I've always found awesome. A guy toting off a boar?!?! WOW! How cool is that? lol.
There was no Henderson portrait done in these, I was already aware of that. Were I to buy one it'd be the MacDonald of Glencoe as the Hendersons were very closely tied in with the MacDonalds there, through the massacre and all. The Gunn would be my other choice as the Hendersons are a related clan at Caithness. Beautiful illustrations; all of them.

Actually, if you look close you will see it's a deer. We probably stole it!!

And pray tell, what's wrong with fishing?
Methinks you need to read Norman Maclean's A River Runs Though It my young friend, to understand the importance of fishing to Highlanders.

That's odd, the Gordon branch of my family, it's a sept, were known for fishing. The MacMillan side were mostly poor "HillBilly" and "Okie" type folk . All good people though.
The shirts are an interesting idea; I will pass that link on to some of the family.

Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Greg, would you rather have the fisherman, or the guy all dolled up for the French Court?
(Can anyone guess which one represents my main Scottish line?)

What about puir Colquhoun? I think the MacGregors have stolen his kilt. BTW I'm related to both, no aspersions intended in either direction.

Well, there are two or three that look such with their powdered wigs and awkward poses, including "MacIntire", which I can tolerate. I do like the great kilt, but there's no tartan in it!

MacIan Figurines
Several years ago Gaelic Themes made a series of figures based on the MacIan prints. These were really very well done (but cost a lot more than t-shirts)-- I wonder if they are still in production?
