This book reveals the origin and development of tartans and Scottish national costume. Beginning as Highland dress, it was originally peculiar to certain areas of Scotland but is now generally accepted as its national costume. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat was once ordinary working clothing of a distinctive local style has been formalised and embellished to turn it into a ceremonial dress suitable for days of celebration, while tartans once woven according to the fancy of those who wore them, have also become fixed with certain patterns prescribed for different families, areas or institutions. This process was not, as is popularly thought, a phenomenon begun by the romantic novels of Sir Walter Scott, but began long before as a reaction to the Union with England in 1707. This book not only traces its evolution from earliest time, but the process by which it became Scottish National Dress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTOC: Chapter I: The Highland Clans \/Chapter II: Early Highland Dress \/Chapter III: Rebels and Kilts \/Chapter IV: Invention of Scottish National Dress \/Chapter V: Tartan - a national dress \/Chapter VI Scottish National Dress today \/Appendix: Major Tartans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0747812187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780747812180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shire Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.80w x 0.20d","brand":"Stuart Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131255255295,"sku":"9780747812180","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_008cf708-8a72-49e5-b43d-3acae7cf0362.jpg?v=1687473839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scottish-national-dress-and-tartan-stuart-reid-9780747812180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
