Mcgloin is of Irish descent. Crest colors are red/grey. link above pulls up info on the name.
Reply:What your looking for is the O'Brien Tartan. McGloin are descendant from the O'briens. If you look up tartan websites they will have the O'brien tartan.

This girl says she will custom make the O'brien tartan.


You may also be able to get a picture of it and get it made locally cheaper.

There are very few Irish family tartans, unlike Scotland where there are hundreds.


Most people of Irish heritage wear the tartan of the county or province where their families lived.





The Irish family tartans that are currently available are linked below. Other Irish tartans that can be custom woven are: Bowling, Brooke, Keirnan, Lynch, O'Brien, O'Farrell, O'Keefe %26amp; O'Neill. Some of these are available from previous custom weaves while supply lasts - see below. If you would like information on custom weaves, please e-mail.
