Historical Significance
The Bisset Ancient Tartan epitomizes the enigmatic history of the Bisset clan, a lineage with roots tracing back to Norman origins. Derived from the French "Bissette," which translates to "small beard," the Bissets originated as a notable family in Normandy before migrating to Scotland in the 12th century. Settling in the northern reaches near Inverness and Ross, the Bissets' early Scottish history remains largely veiled in mystery, with scant records detailing their medieval status. Historically, it is speculated that the Bissets may have been vassals to the influential Comyn family, the earls of Buchan, though there is also a possibility they held independent lands and status.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The Bisset tartan features stripes of black, green, yellow, white, pale carmine, and blue, richly symbolizing the clan's connections to Scottish history and geography. Black Signifying the clan's historical ties to the influential Comyn family. Green Representing the verdant landscapes of northern Scotland. Blue Reflecting the clan's integration with the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands.'These colors weave a vivid narrative of the Bisset clan's heritage and its enduring links to the land and history of Scotland. Despite its relatively modern creation, the Bisset Ancient Tartan has captured the admiration of those passionate about Scottish heritage and tradition. Often fashioned into kilts or traditional Scottish attire, this tartan stands out with its bold and distinctive pattern.
