- Description:
- Postcard (color, oilette, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled The Macneil - The inset shos a depiction of Chisamil Castle. Text on reverse: The Macneil. There are two main branches of this clan – those of Gigha, an island off the coast of Knapdale, and others of Barra, the northernmost island of the Outer Hebrides. The Gigha family had great influence in Argyllshire in early times under the Lords of the Isles, but latterly the Macneils of Barra, who obtained a charter from the Crown in 1427, have always been held to represent the chief branch, and it is their tartan that is here shown. The family lands, however, have passed into other hands. The Macneils of Colonsay are also an important family, and they have contributed several distinguished names to the public service. The clan war cry is “Buaidh no Bas” (Victory or Death) and the badge “Dryas.” "Scottish Clans" Series VI 9481. Printed in England. Note: – This card is one of the Scottish Clan Postcards produced by the famous Raphael Tuck Company of London. Each card shows the clan tartan, clan emblem, plant, and either the traditional clan seat or a picturesque landscape f- rom the clan's traditional “stomping ground.” The series was first issued in 1906. It consisted of seven sets of six cards each. Each card was labeled “Oilette” which refers to a particular type of postcard production. In 1883, Queen Victoria granted the firm the Royal Warrant of Appointment. Tuck cards thereafter bore the message, "Art Publishers to Her Majesty the Queen". Future sovereigns continued the warrant of appointment.
