    The Scottish Clans and their Tartans

    I have a copy of this book that I came across a couple of years ago. It was published in Edinburgh, Scotland by W. & A.K. Johnston and G. W. Bacon and it is a thirty-sixth edtion. It gives a short history of each clan and a full list of septs, with illistations of the tartans.

    I'm not sure what year it was published because it is not noted anywhere in the book, but there are several pages of advertisments in the front and back of the book.

    It is pretty interesting for a small book and if anyone might know anything more about it I would appreciate any information you might have.

    I did notice that there are a couple of places in the differnet adds where they reference being approved by the King and also one that claims approval by Queen Mary but there are no dates listed.

    I also noticed that the tartan they claim as Campbell is not the tartan recognized by the Duke of Argyll, MacCailein Mor.
