Fancy yourself in a Matheson kilt?  Need a Matheson bonnet badge, a tie or just a coffee mug with the Matheson crest on it?  Well, these things might be easier to obtain than you think.

With a strong Scottish heritage in New Zealand, it’s not surprising that there are several business in this country that stock tartan ties an kilts, and should be able to provide these in a Matheson tartan.  These shops sell other Highland apparel and other Scottish-themed items.  Some hire kilts as well.  So whether you want a tartan tie, a Tam O’shanter or the full kilt outfit, there’s a range of outlets to choose from.  Here are the ones we’ve found; do let us know of any others.  Follow the links to the businesses’ own websites.
