Clan Macpherson is a Scottish clan that originates from the Highlands, specifically the area around Aviemore in Cairngorms National Park. The clan's name is derived from the Gaelic "Mac a' Phearsain," meaning "son of the parson." Historically, they were known for their loyalty to the Jacobite cause during the 18th century. The clan's emblem is the stag, symbolizing strength and resilience. The Macphersons have a rich heritage, with their own tartan pattern and clan motto, "Touch not the cat bot a glove." Today, they continue to celebrate their culture through gatherings and events, fostering a sense of community among members.
