Matheson Weathered Tartan

Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Matheson Weathered Tartan, a design deeply rooted in Scottish history. This name traces its origins to the Gaelic 'Mic Mhathghamhuin,' meaning 'son of the bear' or 'son of the heroes.' Descended from Gilleoin, who belonged to the ancient royal house of Lorne in the 12th century, this clan established their presence around Lochalsh, Lochcarron, and Kintail. Pledging their unwavering loyalty to the MacDonalds, the mighty Lords of the Isles, the Mathesons earned a reputation as a formidable force, boasting an impressive force of around 2,000 men. Considered as powerful as the renowned MacKenzies, they aligned themselves with the MacKenzies, forging a bond that ran deep. Their chieftain, Iain Dubh Matheson, met a valiant end defending the hallowed grounds of Eilean Donan Castle in 1539, exemplifying their unwavering commitment to their ancestral lands. Yet, as history unfolded, their legacy extended beyond the Scottish shores. Affected by the Kildonan clearances, Sir James Matheson sought new horizons and established the esteemed trading house of Jardine Matheson in the Far East. A testament to the resilience and adaptability of them, their tartan represents the ancient hunting Matheson, paying homage to their origins.
The Matheson Weathered Tartan showcases predominant colors red, blue, and green, seamlessly interwoven to create a mesmerizing visual tapestry. The deep crimson tones evoke a sense of passion and vitality, while the serene blue hues evoke the tranquil Scottish landscapes, whispering tales of mist-covered lochs and ancient glens. Complementing these shades, the verdant greens capture the essence of the rugged Scottish Highlands, reminiscent of rolling hills blanketed with lush heather.
