A great overview of the history of Scottish clans and tartans, providing a clear guide to many of the most famous families and designs. Great for those who may be looking into their family history.

Clans and Tartans by The Scottish Tartan Authority is a great book to learn more about the beginnings of tartan and has a list of the most common tartans with the crest badge, motto history of where that tartan began and a colour picture of the sample.

The book also has a huge listing of clans family surnames and which tartan you would wear.

I found this a really intersting book. It was good to learn more about the background of tartans. It wold be great if you wanted to learn more about your Scottish background and heritage.

Thanks to Netgalley, The Scottish Tartan Authority and Collins Reference for the book. ( My review is my own opinion)

If you have Scottish heritage, this book gives a great insight to the Clans and Tartans of many.

The contents include The History of Tartan, Clan of Tartans and Histories, Clan and Family Names and in depth sources of further information to help you delve further into your Scottish heritage.

Also included with many Clan names is the Crest Badge, Motto and Gaelic name. This is a very interesting book and as I had recently travelled to Scotland and visited many Castles and listened to informative talks at some of them, I found this book a great companion t the other information and books that I have added to my family library.


Thanks to NetGalley and Collins Reference, Collins for the opportunity to read and review this book.
