Matheson Weathered Tartan

Historical Context

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.

Tartan Color Scheme and Pattern

This tartan features a warm and inviting palette dominated by a lava red, symbolizing passion, energy, and a strong sense of heritage. Complementing the red are soft green tones, adding a touch of nature and balance to the design. The subtle interplay between these colors creates a harmonious pattern that is both bold and understated. The fine green lines interwoven with the red background create a sense of depth and texture, enhancing the overall design. This tartan is perfect for those who appreciate a classic, warm aesthetic with a touch of traditional elegance.
