Happy #TartanDay!

This tartan is for the #Scottish #Clan "Cameron of Lochiel."

Among its most notable Clan Chiefs is Donald Cameron, the 22nd Chief of the Camerons, known as "The Gentle Cameron." (Born 1695, died 1748.)

During the #JacobiteRebellion of 1745, he fought for the cause of #BonniePrinceCharlie, but showed great mercy to the defeated city of Glasgow, which the city still recognizes today.

The Chief earned the name "Gentle Lochiel" for having spared #Glasgow when the #Stuart army retreated north, and in gratitude the citizenry decreed that the bells of the #TolboothKirk should forever be rung whenever his descendants passed through the city.
