Written by Matthew A.C. Newsome and James A. Bullman, the 'Compendium of
District Tartans' is the largest single collection of district tartans - those
tartans that represent places rather than clans or families. This collection
includes tartans officially adopted by the district, as well as "unofficial"
tartans named for districts and some archaeological tartans suggested for
district use, with distinction made between each.
Thread counts and color illustrations are given for hundreds of district
tartans from Scotland, Ireland, and the rest of the British Isles, places in
Europe, Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and beyond. No
collection is complete without this landmark reference!
