Scientists, thinkers and writers in the Scottish Enlightenment used
'commonplace notebooks' to record thoughts and ideas. Many British
writers such as Virginia Woolf and Arthur Conan Doyle continued to
use them. Tartan belongs to Scottish heritage and culture, and
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

notebook idea with the Waverley tartan notebooks bound in genuine

The Waverley Anderson large tartan notebook is hardback, 21cm x
13cm with 192 pages 80gsm FSC acid-free, bound in Anderson tartan.
The Anderson tartan's predominant colour is a cool mid blue, and is
crossed with red, yellow, black and white. The names Anderson and
MacAndrew are connected with St Andrew. The popularity of the first
name Andrew and the associated patronymic surnames meaning "son of
Andrew" - with MacAndrew used in the Highlands, and Anderson in the
Lowlands - means their use is very widespread, and so no exact
origin of the names has been established. Gillanders, the Scottish
Gaelic form, has the meaning "servant of Andrew". Whilst there is
no specific geographical area that is a source of the Anderson
clan, the Kinrara Manuscript written by Lachlan Mackintosh of
Kinrara in 1679 (and based on three earlier, manuscripts written
between 1497 and 1575) contains the claim that MacAndrews came to
Badenoch from Moidart c. 1400. Alexander Anderson (1582-1620), born
in Aberdeen, was an accomplished mathematician, and published works
on geometry and algebra. His cousin David Anderson of Finshaugh (or
Finzeach, d. 1629) is most famous for removing a large rock
obstructing the entrance to Aberdeen harbour in 1610. For this, and
other practical talents, he earned the nickname Davie-Do-a-Things.
John Anderson (1726-1796) was Professor of Natural History at
Glasgow University. In 1863 William Anderson (1805-1866) published
a biographical history of the people of Scotland, The Scottish
Nation. John Anderson, Viscount Waverley (1882-1958) was a member
of Churchill's cabinet and commissioned the design of the Anderson
Shelter, which saved many lives during the Second World War. The
motto of the Clan Anderson is "Stand Sure" and the crest includes
an oak tree. Septs: Related septs of the clan include: Andrews,

The Waverley Holyrood large notebook is hardback, 21 x 13cm, with
192 pages of 80gsm, FSC acid-free paper bound in Holyrood tartan.
The Holyrood tartan is a blend of blues, greys and brown fretted
with yellow. The Holyrood Tartan was created in 1977 to coincide
with the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II's Coronation (2nd June, 1953). The sett is based on
Royal Stewart but with navy blue as the predominant colour, and
overchecks of brown, light blue, green, gold and white. Holyrood is
an area in Edinburgh, where Holyrood Palace (also called the Palace
of Holyroodhouse), the ruins of Holyrood Abbey, Holyrood Park and
the Scottish Parliament are situated. Holyrood Palace is the
Queen's official Scottish residence and it is located in the
Canongate area at the foot of the Royal Mile, the street so named
because it runs for one mile between Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh
Castle. The site was originally of a monastery founded by King
David I of Scotland in 1128. He chose this spot on which to build
it because he is said to have seen a haily ruid (anglicised to
'holy rood'), meaning holy cross, in the sky over this location.
Here, many of the kings of Scotland were crowned, married or
buried. The Palace itself was built in 1498, then severely damaged
in 1544 by the Earl of Hertford's troops and again a century later
by Cromwell's army and restored in the 1670s by Sir William Bruce
on the orders of Charles II. The year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee
was marked by many celebrations, and Her Majesty made tours all
over the British Isles and the Commonwealth to meet her subjects.
Each year, the Queen hosts "Holyrood Week" - usually from the end
of June to the beginning of July - to celebrate Scottish culture
and achievements, and which includes a garden party at the Palace
of Holyroodhouse. About the notebook: This notebook is made with
cloth woven in mills in the United Kingdom. Notebook pages and
