The McGuinness family were lords of Iveagh in County Down, one of the great Gaelic dynasties of Ulster, their territory in the landscape of the Mourne Mountains and the drumlins of south Down. This Irish woven blanket features the McGuinness family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring the lords of Iveagh in County Down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe McGuinness lords of Iveagh held their territory in the barony of Iveagh in south County Down, the landscape between the Mourne Mountains and the drumlin country of mid-Down that is one of the most beautiful in Ulster. Their power made them one of the significant Gaelic families of the province through the medieval period, their name appearing regularly in the annals of the Ulster chronicles. The McGuinness name today is strongly associated with County Down and is found throughout the Ulster diaspora wherever Down families emigrated across the centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the McGuinness family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface.
