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, ranging from the simplest to the most complex. The International Association of Tartan Studies receives numerous inquiries about identifying one's tartan colors, and this beautifully illustrated book provides the answers. Compiled from the nearly 5,000 tartans in the Association's database and selected by two renowned authorities, this outstanding assortment showcases a range of tartans that cater to various tastes and preferences. In addition to providing historical background and definitions of related terms, the book also includes thread counts for the tartan weaver, making it an invaluable resource for families, clubs, historians, and designers alike.
