Clan MacPherson: Touch Not the Cat

From their ancestral lands in Badenoch and the wilds of the Cairngorms, Clan MacPhersons have long been known as fierce fighters and loyal allies. The Ancient tartan displays their distinctive sett in vegetable-dyed tones—softened crimson reds, heathered greens, and earthy browns that replicate the authentic appearance of tartans worn when MacPhersons prowled the Highland passes.

Ancient Colorway: Weathered Badenoch

The Ancient palette transforms the bold MacPherson colors into sophisticated, time-worn hues. Expect gentle rust reds, moss greens, and peat browns that evoke the misty mountains and ancient pine forests surrounding Loch Laggan. This weathered aesthetic offers timeless elegance perfect for those who value the subtle strength of this historic Highland clan.
