McCourt Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The McCourt name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — Mac Cuarta in Irish, from a personal name — found principally in County Louth and the south Ulster borderlands, the family part of the native Irish community of the province. The McCourt families were part of the Gaelic world of Louth and the surrounding counties, a region that sat at the boundary between the Gaelic province of Ulster and the Norman-settled lands of Leinster. This Irish woven blanket features the McCourt family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a County Louth Gaelic heritage.

History & Heritage

County Louth — the smallest county in Ireland — has an extraordinary density of history, from the ancient monastic sites of Monasterboice and Mellifont to the Norman town of Drogheda and the battlefields of the Boyne valley. The McCourt families were part of the Gaelic Irish community of this remarkable county, their name carried through the upheavals of the Norman conquest, the plantation era, and the subsequent centuries. Frank McCourt, the twentieth-century author of Angela’s Ashes, brought the McCourt name worldwide recognition, his Limerick-set memoir one of the most celebrated Irish books of the modern era.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the McCourt family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece correctly.
