Scottish Tattoo Designs >> MacCallum MacCallum Clan Tattoos - Legend has it that MacCallum comes from the Gaelic name of St Columba. The home of the Clan MacCallum lies on the nearest part of the mainland to Iona in Argyll where Columba landed in 561. In 1562 Donald McGillespie mac O'Challum was granted the property of Poltalloch, on the eastern shore of the Bay of Craignish, a few miles from Kilmartin. Dugald MacCallum of Poltalloch, who inherited the estate in 1779, appears to have been the first of that name to call himself Malcolm. Variants Malcolm, Malcolmson, Callam, Callum. Their territory lay in the Loch Awe district, and they are traditionally reported to an offshoot of the MacGhille Challums (or MacLeods) of Raasay.
Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm was Commander in Chief of Saint Helena, and won the regard of Napolean. John Wingfield Malcolm of Poltalloch was created Lord Malcolm in 1896, and died in 1902, when the peerage became extinct, though his brother inherited his estate, and the feudal title of 'Malcolm of Poltalloch', descended with the chieftainship of the Clan.
