About This Item
In very good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
The Scottish clans and the tartans which are their symbol both grew out of the Celtic past and flourished in the late Middle Ages. Decimated first by inter-clan warfare, then by the brutal repression of the English and finally by the Highland Clearances, the clans have nevertheless survived. The clans still provide a real sense of identity for their members and their tartans have become very fashionable. This fascinating account traces their stories right up to the present day and lavish illustrations show the wonderful variety of the tartans.
