This Tartan Spotlight is the Hunting MacLean of Duart. I really like this tartan and it's one of my favourites. The MacLean of Duart comes from the Isle of Mull, with the clan seat being Duart Castle. If you haven't visited, I can highly recomend it. #tartan #scotland #clan #history #bagpipes | Andrew Paton The Highland Bagpiper
