Matheson Tartan Pattern and Colours

The red dress style gives the collection a bold heritage look, while the hunting versions bring deeper greens, blues and darker bands for a more traditional Highland outdoor feel.
Matheson Heritage
The Matheson name has long been connected with the Highlands, especially the areas around Lochalsh, Lochcarron and Kintail. This gives Matheson tartan a strong regional story for families looking to honor Highland roots through clothing, accessories and meaningful gifts.
