Tartan Research

Over time I intend to add links on this page to a number of research articles that I hope will enable those with a deeper interest in the history of tartan to read into area of the subject in greater detail. The articles, which are copyright, are my own work/opinion and other may differ in their interpretation of particular facts. My observations and conclusions are based on 25 years of study and are as logical and accurate as I can make them with the present knowledge base but of course further research may develop some ideas further.
