Morrison Society tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Morrison.
This older green sett first appears in the 1880 Clans Originaux pattern book. Its likeness to the Mackay tartan is put down to Morrison families who settled in Mackay country in Sutherland after losing their standing on Lewis. Once the red sett became the official clan tartan, this one was renamed Morrison Society, and is also known as the Hunting or Green Morrison.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Morrison Society” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
