Excerpt from The Scottish Clans and Their Tartans: With Notes The Scottish Highlanders are the remnant of the great Celtic race which remained untouched by the Roman and Saxon invasions on the south, and the Danes on the east and west of the country, and they were the last to oppose with perfect success the otherwise conquering arms of Rome. When, in the year 81 of the Christian era, Agricola invaded North Britain, it was inhabited by twenty-one aboriginal tribes or clans. The introduction of clanship and tartans seems to be beyond the reach of history, but Logan, in his Scottish Gael (vol. i., p. 230), gives the following extract from the charge and discharge of John, Bishop of Glasgow, Treasurer to King James III., 1471: - "Ane elne and ane halve of Blue Tartane, to lyne his gowne of cloth of gold ... 1, 10s. (Scots) "Four elne and ane halve of Tartane, for a sparwort aboun his credill, price ane elne 10s ... 2, 5s. "Halve ane elne of doble Tartane, to lyne ridin collars to her lady the Queen, price 8 shillins." In the accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland, in August 1538, are entries regarding a Highland dress for King James V., on the occasion of that monarch making a hunting excursion to the Highlands. The dress was made of vari-coloured tartan. In more modern times the following references may be quoted. In 1640, General Leslie states that the Highlanders under his command were composed of men of the same name or clan; as to the Tartan, reference is made as to its price in the Acts of Parliament of Scotland in 1661. In the ornamental title to Bleau's Map of Scotland, published in 1654, two Highlanders are represented in striped clothes, one of them wearing the "Belted Plaid," consisting of a large and long piece of plaiding, which was so folded and confined by a belt round the waist as to form a complete dress, plaid and kilt in one piece. This is supposed to be the origin of the now highly ornamental Highland dress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Clans and Tartans of Scotland you'll take a look at some of the oldest and most historic families of Scotland. Tracing back to the 19th century, the stories of Scottish clans and their heritage is expounded upon this this great volume. A Scottish clan is a kinship group among the Scottish people. Clans give a sense of shared identity and descent to members, and in modern times have an official structure recognized by the court in Scotland, which regulates Scottish heraldry and coats of arms. Most clans have their own tartan patterns, usually dating from the 19th century, which members may incorporate into kilts or other clothing. The clans are irrevocably linked to Scotland's rich and turbulent past and have left a lovely legacy of castles and stately homes, many of which are the seats of the clans today. It is a common misconception that every person who bears a clan's name has a direct bloodline to the original clan chief. This is not so. Many clansmen although not related to the chief took the chief's surname as their own to either show solidarity, to obtain basic protection, or for much needed sustenance. The Clans & Tartans of Scotland explores the fascinating heritage of over one hundred of Scotland's most famous clans and biggest families together with their illustrious and historic tartans.
