The most scholarly study and the most reliable work of reference for the identification of the traditional tartans. D.C. Stewart's magisterial work was first published in 1950, and it built upon the work of his father, D.W. Stewart, author of 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans'. The book includes a preface for both the first and second editions, an outline of the history of the use of tartans, and discusses tartan designs in general, with particular reference to their significance as distinguishing one clan from another. This is followed by a clan-by-clan description of the individual designs together with a section of full-color illustrations.
