Rich in history and valor, the multicolored woven art known as tartan has a centuries-old heritage, but it was only codified in the late eighteenth century. Conjuring images of kilted warriors and lively bagpipes, tartan has endured for hundreds of years, becoming an integral part of the Scottish nation. It is said that all Scots are color-coded, and this third of three alphabetically arranged volumes showcases over 400 examples of vividly striped tartans, spanning from the names MacNichol to Yukon. The International Association of Tartan Studies receives numerous inquiries about determining one's tartan colors, and this beautifully illustrated book offers a comprehensive answer. Compiled from the nearly 5,000 tartans in the Association's database, it has been curated by two renowned authorities. This outstanding assortment ranges from the simplest to the most complex designs, providing a valuable resource for families, clubs, historians, and designers alike.
In addition to the tartans themselves, the book includes brief historical backgrounds, definitions of related terms, and thread counts for the tartan weaver. It serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to explore the rich tapestry of tartan heritage and its significance in Scottish culture. Whether you are interested in tracing your family's tartan history or designing your own tartan, this book is a must-have for anyone with a passion for this timeless art form.
