Book Description
Tartans, with their unique combinations of attractive colours and intricate designs, are universally popular. They have a long and fascinating history linked with Scottish clans and families and survive today as symbols of Scotland's rich heritage. Large amounts of tartan fabric are woven for clothes, souvenirs and other items and new tartans are designed every year. Tartans of Scotland is a concise guide to over 140 tartans, including the main clan and family sets. The directory lists the tartans in alphabetical order, providing information on the earliest origins of each one, its current status and type, and details of historical and clan connections. The book provides an easy reference guide for identifying tartans and also explains how these beautiful designs are linked to the history of Scotland and the Scottish people.

Book Description
Tartan is an enormously popular pattern in modern fashion. Beginning as Highland dress, it was originally peculiar to certain areas of Scotland, but is now generally accepted as its national costume: what was once ordinary working clothing of a distinctive local style has been formalised into a ceremonial dress, with tartans once woven according to the fancy of those who wore them becoming fixed with certain patterns prescribed for different families, areas or institutions. This process was not, as is popularly thought, a phenomenon begun by the romantic novels of Sir Walter Scott, but began long before as a reaction to the union with England in 1707. This book traces not only the early stages of that evolution, but the process by which the various tartans became icons of Scottish identity.

Book Description
"Hugh Cheape, Head of the Scottish Material Culture Research Centre at the National Museums of Scotland, explores the story of tartan from the medieval love of display to the Victorian invention of exclusive clan identity. With the spotlight also thrown on Bonnie Prince Charlie's kilt and 'ancient' tartans, the history of the Highlands and its society is brought vividly to life. A revised edition of a classic text, this book contains a full-colour section on clan tartans, with useful historical information to find our more about your own tartan, and family history and genealogy."--BOOK JACKET.
