Clan Matheson


There are two different theories as to the origin of the name Matheson - one claims that it derives from the Gaelic "Mic Mhathghamhuin", meaning "son of the bear", while an alternative theory claims it translates as "son of the heroes". The clan first appear on record as part of an army led by Alexander III of Scotland, who fought to free the Isle of Skye from the Norwegian king. One of the leaders in the battle was a Kjarnac (Cormac) Macmaghan.

The Matheson clan motto is "Fac et spera" (Do and hope) and the clan crest is a hand holding a scimitar.
