This is a revised edition of the best-selling story of tartan. From moors to moon landings, from battlefields to high fashion, tartan has made an extraordinary impact. This fresh interpretation of the world's most memorable fabric tells a story that is fascinating, colourful and distinctively Scottish. A full-colour section on individual clans enables the reader to find their own tartan and family history.
