The McElligott families were part of the Gaelic world of Kerry, one of Ireland’s most distinctively Gaelic counties whose landscape of mountains, peninsulas, and Atlantic coastline sheltered Irish language and culture into the modern period. This Irish woven blanket features the McElligott family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a County Kerry heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe McElligott families were associated with County Kerry and the north Kerry landscape around Tralee and Castleisland, a region at the heart of the ancient Gaelic world of the south-west. Their name reflects the Norman origin of the personal name Ulick, which entered the Irish naming tradition through the great Burke dynasty of Connacht — Ulick Burke was a common given name among the Connacht Normans — and which spread into Munster through the connections between these great medieval families. The McElligott name today is concentrated in Kerry and is part of the rich Munster Gaelic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the McElligott family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface.
