MACKENZIE (MODERN) [non-wool] - Tartans beginning with 'B' Wilson called the pattern NoThe MacKenzie is the regimental tartan of the Seaforth Highlanders, who were raised by MacKenzie, Earl of Seaforth, in 1778. The clan held lands in Ross shire and around Muir of Ord, but in the 12th century, they were removed to Wester Ross, (Kintail).
