Bisset Ancient

One of the first tartans designed by the Scottish Tartans Society, for a Mrs E Bisset in 1977. Colours: the blue and white of the Bisset shield; yellow and black representing the motto; red for the 'eternal flame' and the local tartan; all on a green background. The motto of the Bissets is 'Abscissa virescit' meaning 'Cut me down and I shall grow again'. The yellow represents the wood chips from the axe and the green for the fresh new growth.
