Biography of DW Stewart, author of 'Old and Rare Scottish Tartans' (1893)

[figheadair]

I'm sorry, David. I have a first edition of DW Stewart's 'Old and Rare..." but have little or no biographical information on him. You have, however, stirred a research interest and, if this develops anything, I'll certainly let you know in this thread or by PM. Perhaps figheadair can contribute regarding the writings of all these various tartan-interested Stewarts, but I think you might just be back to pure genealogical searching and discovery. Best wishes to you -- please keep us abreast of your efforts.

David and I have been corresponding on this via the STA. As I said through that forum, I'm not aware of 'DW' having moved to Australia but then again, there seems to be little information available about him.

As an aside, I did have the pleasure of meeting his son 'DC', he of the Setts of the Scottish Tartans, in my youth.
