Customer Reviews
Beautifully illustrated; some good historical background included
Photos and illustrations have great color. Sorry they didn't include some of the alternative tartans for each clan (such as ancient & hunting). Also, it's not as easy to find the clan tartan you're looking for in this one. Several clans are included on each page, tartan photos are about 1.5 inches square, and you have to hunt for the name you want. Tartan photo might not be next to clan name. Lots of good early history of Scotland in the first part of the book and some wonderful photos of the countryside and old castles. I just wish the photos of the tartans had been larger and there had been additional tartans included with each clan.
