Explore the names patterns and stories of Scotland
Vintage good condition. Latest listed revision 1974.
This revised edition of Robert Bain's illustrated guide links Scottish clan history with the tartans that have become such recognisable expressions of identity. Colour plates sit beside entries describing the families, names and traditions associated with each design. Details such as clan territories, badges, mottos and other historical customs help readers place a tartan within a broader cultural setting. A map provides another route into the relationships between place and family. Whether consulted for a particular surname or enjoyed as a visual collection, the volume offers an accessible introduction to Scotland's heritage. It is especially appealing to readers interested in ancestry, textile patterns and the ways history is remembered through symbols passed between generations.
