Matheson Ancient Tartan

The Matheson Clan, with its origins rooted in the Gaelic name "Mic Mhathghamhuin," meaning "son of the bear," or possibly "son of the heroes," has a storied history in Scotland. The clan first gained prominence during the reign of Alexander III, participating in battles to free the Isle of Skye from Norwegian control. The clan motto, "Fac et spera" (Do and hope), reflects their enduring spirit. Sir Fergus John Matheson, the 7th Baronet of Lochalsh, served as Clan Chief from 1993 to 2017, succeeded by his son, Sir Alexander Fergus Matheson, 8th Baronet, who also has a distinguished military career. The Matheson Tartan represents this proud heritage and the clan's deep connection to Scottish history.

The Matheson Ancient Tartan features a striking combination of bright red, deep green, and muted blue, woven together in a traditional Scottish pattern. The bold red represents the clan's courage and strength, while the green and blue reflect Scotland's natural landscapes. This tartan serves as a visual link to the Matheson clan’s heritage, symbolizing their historical roots and enduring presence within the rich tapestry of Scottish culture.
