This series of Tartan Notebooks celebrates Scottish Traditions - the many unique features of Scotland and its people. History, clans and tartans, the landscape of Scotland - hills, glens, mountains, lochs and rivers guarded by the many castles and strongholds of Scotland, some ancient and ruined, but each one full of history, with a story to tell.

The name Anderson means son of Andrew and Kinloch means head of the loch. Commonplace notebooks date back to the Scottish Enlightenment.
