EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1846, captures the essence of Scottish Highland culture as represented by the Matheson tartan. The Matheson tartan, with its distinctive red and beige design, has been a symbol of the Clan Matheson's rich history and heritage for generations. In this image, a mother and her children proudly display their connection to their clan and their Scottish heritage. The woman wears a traditional Matheson tartan skirt, which flows gracefully around her, while her children, dressed in Matheson tartan kilts and jackets, play barefoot in the grass. The early Victorian era setting is reflected in their simple yet elegant attire, which showcases the timeless beauty of the tartan fabric. The Matheson tartan, which can be traced back to the 18th century, has been worn by members of the Clan Matheson for centuries. The clan, which originated in the Scottish Highlands, has a long and storied history that includes battles, political intrigue, and a deep connection to the land. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of Scottish families during the 1840s. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of family, tradition, and heritage, and the enduring appeal of the Scottish Highlands and its rich cultural history.
