Matheson Hunting Modern Tartan 8-Yard Scottish Highland Kilt

Do and hope in vibrant style with our Matheson Hunting Modern Tartan 8 Yard Scottish Kilt—the bold day wear choice for Clan Matheson descendants. Featuring vivid forest greens, rich browns, and striking red accents of the Hunting Modern sett, this traditional 8-yard kilt honors the clan motto "Fac et Spera" (Do and Hope) while delivering practical elegance for Highland games and outdoor gatherings in Lochalsh.

Clan Matheson: Do and Hope

With ancient roots in Ross-shire and the Lochalsh district, Clan Matheson has long been associated with the rugged beauty of the Scottish northwest. The Hunting Modern tartan displays their practical spirit in bright, saturated colors—deep forest greens representing the pine woods of Ross, rich chocolate browns echoing the Highland earth, and vivid red accents signifying the clan's enduring hope and determination.

Hunting Modern: Bold Day Wear

The Hunting sett replaces formal scarlet with practical greens and browns suited for outdoor pursuits, while the Modern colorway presents these earthy tones in vivid, contemporary hues. Expect bright emerald greens, rich chestnut browns, and bold crimson accents that maintain clan visibility during Highland games competition, country sports, and daytime clan events.
