    And the Morrison Society Tartan, commonly called Morrison Green has this description -

    " In 1597 up to 60 Morrison families fled the Outer Hebrides and resettled on the mainland in north west Sutherland - MacKay country. The first record of this ‘green Morrison’ appears in the 1880 Clans Originaux sample book and its similarity to the Mackay tartan can be explained by the Morrisons’ new location. It was also included as Morrison in the 1906 W & A K Johnston "Tartans of the Clans & Septs of Scotland". Reports that it was designed in 1909 by a J G MacKay are therefore in error. After the present red Morrison (STA 998) was rediscovered/adopted as the clan tartan, this original was renamed Morrison Society with alternative names of Hunting Morrison or Green Morrison."
