Registration notes: Designed in January 2007 by Steven Mackison who is hoping to 'get the Mackisons recognised as a clan' by Lord Lyon. The Tartan is a modification of the Menteith district Tartan. The Mackisons trace their name to St. Mackessog (Mackessan) the original patron Saint of Scotland, an Irish Missionary Bishop who settled in and around Luss and other areas of Lomondside. The Mackisons begin as residents of Menteith district and latterly were popoulous in Perthshire, particularly in the parish of Kilmadock. The thread-counts from the Menteith tartan have been reversed with green becoming dark blue and blue becoming green. The white in the Menteith has been with a purple, indicative of St. Mackessan's status as a Bishop.

Please note

Where tartans were recorded before the establishment of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) on 5 February 2009, the original Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and the Scottish Tartans World Register (STWR) reference numbers have been retained. The new SRT reference number can be found in the address box on your browser (url).

The registration criteria now applied by the Register conforms to the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. These criteria are different to those previously applied by either the STA or the STWR. You may wish to refer to the STA website for further information on the original recording of this tartan.
