Description
The Clans of Tartans of Scotland by Robert Bain is a concise guide to more than 100 of Scotland’s best-known clans and their tartan traditions. Each entry provides information about the clan’s crest, motto and often turbulent history, offering an accessible introduction to the heritage and symbolism associated with Scottish clan identity.
The book also includes information on the tartans associated with different clan and family names, together with a map of Scotland showing the clan territories and a useful list of sources for readers wishing to investigate their own Scottish ancestry further. Abridged from Bain’s larger The Clans and Tartans of Scotland, it combines Scottish history, heraldry, genealogy and tartan tradition in a compact reference volume.
A good choice for readers interested in Scottish heritage, clan history, tartans, heraldry or tracing their Scottish family connections.
