Clan Bisset traces its origins to the ancient territories of Scotland, with roots extending back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The Bisset family gained prominence in the mid-12th century, acquiring significant estates in Inverness-shire. A pivotal figure, Sir John Bisset of Lovat, was notably imprisoned in 1245 in connection with the murder of the Earl of Atholl, and he died in 1258. The clan's influence extended through strategic marriages, with one daughter’s marriage leading to the establishment of Clan Fraser through the lands of Lovat, and another to the founding of Clan Grant. The Bisset tartan, designed in 1977 by Mrs. E. Bisset in collaboration with the Scottish Tartans Society, symbolizes the clan’s enduring legacy. The clan motto, "Abscissa Virescit" (Hewn down yet still grows green), reflects the resilience and tenacity of the Bisset family throughout Scottish history.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Bisset Tartan features a striking pattern of green, red, blue, yellow, black, and white.
