The name Maclaren comes from a 13th Century abbot, Lachran or Laurence. His descendants owned land at Balquhidder, about 90 minute drive North of Glasgow. Around the mid 1500’s many Maclarens fell victim to marauding MacGregors and they subsequently became unwilling hosts to Rob Roy MacGregor. The Maclarens were staunch Jacobites and took part in the uprisings of 1715 and 1745 (Culloden). Donald Maclaren was captured at Culloden but make a dramatic escape from the English, a feat related in Sir Walter Scott’s novel ‘Redgauntlet’. The tartan design dates back to 1819. The Boy Scouts of America Wood Badge adopted the Maclaren tartan.
Both of these I purchased on my last visit to Scotland and love them so I was so happy to find this site to order/re-order these items when I need them. The coffee is actually for a gift. Again, happy to find a way to get these great teas and coffees until I return to Scotland in person!
Buttery and smooth, perfect for a cup of tea
Absolutely love this tea, it’s so full body and flavorful tea that I have tasted.
Brought back great memories. Tasted just as I remember!
