The ancient system of clans grew out of ancient Celtic tribal traditions, and is based around a fierce love for both family and homeland. Historically, the clan tartan can be viewed almost as a uniform, proclaiming a clansman's loyalties and family ties -- a way of recognizing friend or foe. This indispensable guide brings together over 150 tartans from the clans of Scotland and looks at their origins, both geographical and historical, and their position with regard to other families. Also discusses tartan history and design, incl. the weave, hunting, dress, and district tartans, the colors, tartan types and color sequence, and ancient, modern and reproduction tartans.

The ancient system of clans grew out of ancient Celtic tribal traditions, and is based around a fierce love for both family and homeland. Historically, the clan tartan can be viewed almost as a uniform, proclaiming a clansman's loyalties and family ties - a way of recognising friend or foe. Yet wearing of tartan is not something confined to the history books. People the world over still eagerly trace their ancestry to claim descendence from ancient clans, and new tartans are regularly designed and approved. An indispensable guide. The Handbook of Clans and Tartans of Scotland brings together over 150 tartans from the clans of Scotland and looks at their origins, both geographical and historical, and their position with regard other families. --- from book's back cover
