Inhaltsangabe

Tartan is a fabric that has been adopted all over the world as a mark of corporate or kindered identity. The Scottish clan or family tartan is of comparatively recent origin, but its genesis and development are linked with the colourful and dramatic story of Scotland itself. This book traces the history of the clan system and the origins of the Highland dress and of the Tartan, and gives advice as to how and where the tartan should be worn. The main section of the book includes an extensive list of sept and family names, accounts of all the main clans of Scotland and details of the leading families which have tartans, illustrated with 265 tartan patterns.
