  • "All over the world, tartan is immediately recognized as a symbol of the Scottish people and their culture. It is glamorous, colourful and instantly conjures up a romantic set of associations - the sway of the kilt, the skirl of the pipes, and the spectacle of brave Highlanders fighting for freedom against an imperial power. The history of tartan lives up to those expectations. Over the centuries, its fortunes have ebbed and flowed. It has been mocked as the attire of savages too poor to afford trousers; it has been outlawed as the uniform of dangerous rebels; but ultimately it has triumphed, becoming a badge of honour not only for native Scots, but for their descendants and admirers around the globe."
