Vintage Six Tassel Edinburgh Prince Charlie Sealskin Sporran - Bearing the clan crest relating to the Morrisons of Harris and Lewis
A fine vintage 1950-60's sealskin sporran, exquisitely showcasing timeless elegance and exceptional quality craftsmanship.
Bearing the older three headed clan crest Morrisons of Harris and Lewis .The Morrison clan, known as Chlann Mhic-Ghille-Mhuire meaning "Devotee of St. Mary," is believed to come from Scandinavia, descending from the natural son of the King of Norway who was shipwrecked on Lewis. This clan is different from the Morrisons of the Central Highlands ("sons of Maurice") and the Morrisons from Irish bards who settled in Harris; they are not related to the Lewis clan. The Morrison chiefs once served as judges under the Macleods, who gave them land in Habost, north Lewis. The first known Morrison was Uisdean of Hugh, who lived in the 1500s alongside the last Macleod of Lewis. Hence under the crest is the ‘dun uisdean’ motto Hugh’s Castle.
Today, there is a recognised chief for Clan Morrison, consolidating the various Morrison lineages under one leader to simplify their complex history.
Created for the renowned bespoke tailors Stewart Christie & Co Ltd Edinburgh, whose distinguished heritage dates back to around 1720, this piece reflects a long tradition of expert Scottish Highland dress making.
Based on the sporran style famously worn by Bonnie Prince Charlie, this traditional six tassel sealskin dress sporran remains a timeless and elegant Highland accessory, reflecting classic Scottish heritage and craftsmanship.
