Welcome to the website of the international Clan Matheson Society. Here you will find the latest news from the Chief as well as the authorised Matheson history and genealogy. In addition, through this site you can join the Clan Society, which will allow you to make contact with other people with the same Highland heritage as yourself.
There are branches of the Clan Matheson Society in many countries, linking Clan members through their own social events, newsletters and websites. In addition, the International Clan Society is dedicated to bringing together Mathesons from across the world and to discovering more about the Clan's origins. The Society's genealogy team is actively compiling full records of the various branches and surnames in the extended Clan family, and the Clan has its own DNA project which is using established scientific methods to trace the Clan back to its earliest roots.
What we do know is that the first Mathesons arrived in Scotland many hundreds of years ago. They established their stronghold in Wester Ross and soon became one of the strongest clans in the Scottish Highlands. Today the Clan has spread to all corners of the globe and includes people whose family name is Matheson, Mathieson, Mathison and various possible derivatives (see the Clan Society page for details).
All this and more can be found on this website. In the meantime, if you have any additional information that can be added to the site, please contact the webmaster. If it is about the history of the Clan, please contact the clan’s historical co-ordinator.Submit your genealogy for the Clan records
