What is Sean Connery's clan?

[l***@gmail.com]

I have a doubt. Many times I have seen Sean Connery with the traditional scotch kilt, and I want know what's Sean Connery's tartan and clan. Thanks.

The kilt you saw Sir Connery wearing is Hunting MacLean. Aparently His mother was a MacLean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Maclean
Also Scotch is a whisky. People from Scotland are Scots.

Sean Connerys clan is the clan Maclean. His mother was a Maclean hence his wearing the kilt. The kilt he wears is his hunting kilt which is why it is green.

Sean Connery's mother was a MacLean. He has been photographed wearing the MacLean Hunting tartan

I was going to mention that he is wearing the MacLean tartan here and has also been seen in another MacLean tartan.

You are right, and as far as I remember both his parents were born Irish.

Hello,
His mother was actually a McLean. Scottish decent. Her name was Euphemia McLean and was born in Fife Scotland. I believe the Tartan that Sir Sean Connery mostly wears is the McLean hunting tartan. The green.

his mother was a McLean. The green tartan that he is usually seen is I believe the hunting tartan for the McLean clan.

Connery commonly wears MacLean of Duart Hunting which is his Scottish family lineage. Although Connery is also an Irish name, it has its ties in Scotland as well and falls under the order of a sept. He wore his family tartan, MacLean of Duart for his presence to the Queen when he was knighted, which is where you would wear your Clan...although you can wear any tartan, and he does. He also often wears generic non clan tartans, such as Flower of Scotland, Scotland the Brave and an assortment of district tartans.
I offer this information as someone who is a kiltmaker, A Scot, and an importer of Scottish tartan. And, not a correction in any way ill meant, but Scotch is a drink or a broth...otherwise it is a Scottish or Scots tartan :) ...and you are right to doubt the Irish district tartan.. I have never, ever seen him in an Irish tartan.,,have a lovely day :)

Thank you for your authoritative information about tartans. But I would suggest that Scotch has for a long time been the English word for those people or things that come from Scotland, including Scotch egg, Scotch mist and a Scotch snap in music, and it was the word used by Sir Walter Scott (have a look at the Oxford English Dictionary). However, since people in Scotland prefer to use Scots or Scottish when not referring to whisky, I avoid using Scotch in their presence, out of politeness. In return, it would be nice if Scots would not try to impose their different language on us Sassenachs. And you enjoy your day!

In fact Scotch was in common use in Scotland until well into the 20th century - see the Scottish National Dictionary. The idea that it is an 'incorrect' form of Scottish or Scots is a very modern thing.

Probably from someone aware of "Mary Queen of Scots" as in, not Mary Queen of Scotch or Scotland. But the lesson to be learned from the phrase "Mary queen of Scots" is that the monarch was sovereign over a people, not a geographic location.

A concept, btw, that is being revived by Putin when he is looking for a "beyond the borders" rationale for this or that....

Queen of Scotch or Scotland. But the lesson to be learned from the
phrase "Mary queen of Scots" is that the monarch was sovereign over a
people, not a geographic location.

That of course is a political position,which more traditional monarchists
oppose...likewise the French went from having a Roi de France (Charles X)
to a Roi des Francais (Louis-Philippe).

Surely the named tartans are a modern invention such that no design
really belongs to anyone?

I thought that tartans tied to specific clans only appeared in the early
18th century.

If I am right, Sean Connery can do precisely what he likes. He can
even, as people used to, weave his own design in the comfort of his
hearth over the winter.

Thank you for that detail. Scottish kilts are plaid. Irish kilts are solid colors. There aren't many choices for Irish kilts, though they are deep, beautiful colors.
