Clans and Tartans (Collins Gems)

Tartans are synonymous with Scotland and for many Scots, both at home and abroad, they are recognized and acknowledged as symbols of clan kinship. This book is abridged from Robert Bain's "The Clans and Tartans of Scotland" and contains over 100 of Scotland's most famous clans providing details of their crests, mottoes and often turbulent history. Also included are the correct tartans worn by the holder of a particular clan of a family name, a clan map of Scotland, and a helpful list of sources for those wishing to pursue their clan or family history further.
