ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TARTAN (HB)

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. This newly updated illustrated guide provides a detailed insight into the origins of tartan, information on the way the fabric and weaves developed, and how it became a symbol of resistance. This book also includes a directory illustrating the major clan tartans, followed by international and modern tartans, with a wealth of history and background to each.
