His name comes from the Gaelic tòrran — a small hill, a mound, something that has stood long enough to become part of the land itself. Toran MacAlba is Scotland in a single character.

Dressed in the Spirit of Scotland tartan, sword in hand and shield at the ready, Toran carries the strength of the Highlands and the soul of Alba wherever he stands. MacAlba means Son of Scotland, and this Chieftain wears that name with quiet, unshakeable pride.

Whether standing guard on a mantelpiece or journeying across the seas, he brings a wee piece of Scotland with him, a warrior of heritage and heart, built for those who feel the pull of the north in their bones.

The Story Behind Toran

Toran MacAlba belongs to the Clan Path, where the spirit of Scotland’s great clans lives on through characters shaped by courage, loyalty and a deep sense of belonging. His tartan is the Spirit of Scotland, a fitting choice for a Chieftain who does not represent one clan alone, but the enduring character of a nation. Like the hill his name recalls, Toran has simply always been there, steady and certain, long before anyone thought to look.

A Northern Nome with Character

Every Northern Nome is handmade in Scotland, making each one an individual character with his own little quirks and personality.

Toran is created with:

  • Clan tartan kilt and plaid over the shoulder
  • Fur-trimmed bonnet with feather
  • Faux fur trims and beard
  • Wooden bead nose
  • Highland shield and sword
  • His own Chieftain character and story

Approximate height: 16cm

Each Toran MacAlba comes with his own character swing tag.

A Little Piece of the Highlands

Toran MacAlba makes a distinctive Scottish gift for anyone with a love of Highland heritage, clan history or the enduring spirit of Scotland.

He would sit equally well among a collection of Northern Nomes, on a Scottish-themed shelf, or keeping proud watch over a favourite corner of the home.
