The Tartan Craze & R.R. McIan's Clans of the Scottish Highlands

What is The Clans of The Scottish Highlands?
This massive tome, commissioned by Queen Victoria and published in 1845, is a catalog of detailed descriptions of traditional highland dress. It also includes brief histories of each of the Scottish clans represented.

Beautiful, engrossing and inspiring, 'The Clans' is widely considered to be the first comprehensive, illustrated record of Highland dress in the world. The introduction purports that the work is highly accurate - free from the errors of previous romanticized documents.

But is it?

In this video we examine where this amazing work of art came from, who made it and why. We also discuss its impact on Scottish and British culture and the legacy we live with today.
