The tartan called MacRae of Conchra is said to have been in the possession of that family since 1715. During the Jacobite Rising of 1715, John MacRae of Conchra and Lochalsh left Kintail with his followers to join the rebel army. Some of his men had worn out their hose and were given a web of tartan cloth by people living in a shieling where they rested during their march. With this the men made themselves new hose. The tartan thus supplied was now well-known MacRae of Conchra tartan. Part of the original web was long in the possession of the Conchra family. The tartan is sometimes called Sheriffmuir tartan.
