Setts Of The Scottish Tartans $20

**OC Richard** · 31st July 25, 01:20 PM

An exceptional price for a copy of this long out-of-print book.

While recent research by Peter MacDonald has revealed errors in this book (which I have noted in my copy) it remains my go-to tartan-spotting book due to the "medal ribbon" way of displaying the tartans, which I find much clearer than photos of the tartans.

Prices on this book vary wildly.

...

"Medal ribbon"? Looking at the listing pictures provided, they look like regular tartan photos to me.

eBay just offered me a hard to refuse 10% price discount (so I didn't).

Is there a master list of corrections anywhere?

There are a few photos of tartans in the book, but the main list of tartans are illustrated like this, which to me is the clearest way to view the structure of tartans.

I just have them scribbled in the margins here and there.

Sometimes it's from reading one of Peter's research articles. Sometimes it's from a comment Peter made in passing. Sometimes it's something in Scotland's Forged Tartans (an expose of the Allen Brother's evil works and empty promises).
