This newly updated illustrated guide provides a detailed insight
into the origins and history of tartan, from the very earliest
samples, through those worn by the warring clans in the Stuart
rebellions, to the Katsushika Japanese Dancers. The first section
details the story of tartan, with information on the way the fabric
and weaves developed, and how it became a symbol of resistance. The
main part of the book is a directory illustrating the major clan
tartans followed by international and modern tartans, with a wealth
of history and background to each. From the ancient Bruce family to
Neil Armstrong, who took his family tartan to the moon, tartan is
one of the most enduring symbols of national pride and individual
reputation. It is also a peculiarly inclusive, adaptable way of
proclaiming allegiance and belonging.
