to compile and record knowledge and were used by many thinkers,
scientists and writers in Scottish history (the Scottish
Enlightenment) such as Adam Smith, Robert Burns, Francis Hutcheson,
David Hume, James Hutton, John Playfair and Adam Ferguson. Their
popularity continued with many famous British authors and artists
using them such as Virginia Woolf, Walter Scott, John Milton,
Francis Bacon, E.M.Forster, W.H Auden, and Arthur Conan Doyle. This
range of Waverley Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks
celebrates tartan. Tartan belongs to Scottish heritage and to
Scottish culture past and present. Tartan thrives today both at
home and overseas. There are now over 7,000 tartans officially
recorded in the Scottish Register of Tartans located within the
National Archive of Scotland.Waverley Books is working with Kinloch
Anderson, Edinburgh, who supplied genuine tartan cloth from weavers
in Scotland, and the Borders. Deirdre Kinloch Anderson helped to
establish the Scottish Register of Tartans, which guarantees tartan
is secure in the public domain and for the heritage of Scotland.
