Waverley Scotland - What Tartan can I wear?Waverley Scotland - What Tartan can I wear?Most people wear a tartan that they have a family connection with, and there are over 3,500 tartans in existence. Most people research their own family tartan and decide which one to wear. Most people first research the surnames of their grandparents, or further back, to find out which tartans or clans they are involved with. There is a huge amount of information online and in specialist books to help. Many people who cannot find information about their Scottish family background choose to wear a 'district' tartan and there are many of these. It may be named after a city or certain area of Scotland. Of course, 'clans' began because people living in a certain area would wear the same tartan because of the local dyes and cloth available from the local weaver, or because of an association with the local clan chief or family. 'Sett' is the name given to the pattern of a tartan. The sett was determined by the colours/dyes available and how the handloom was set up. Your own tartan: If you prefer to have your own tartan, (it can be expensive) you can start with an existing one and change some of the colours or proportions, or you can start from scratch. Once designed, you need to check your tartan with the Scottish Register of Tartans https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/ to ensure it does not copy an existing one. And then you have to register it. However... most producers and weavers respectfully advise you study tartan and ask for some advice before you start. Many companies and people now have their own tartans.To find out more about the story of each tartan, you can read the history of each one online or in one of the many excellent books available. The origin of tartans tells us something always about the history of Scotland, and develops our knowledge too of cloth, dyes and how people lived.Each of the tartan commonplace notebooks comes with a bookmark that gives a brief history of the origins of that tartan. Deirdre Kinloch Anderson has written about the history of tartans and her family company also in her book: A Scottish Tradition. £25.00 available from Waverley Books.To read about the origins of the phrase 'Commonplace Notebook' please see our section on 'The Commonplace Notebook' which we found out about while researching some of our books on Robert Burns.  There are 7 products in this category.Just what is a 'Commonplace' notebook then?Just what is a 'Commonplace' notebook then?Waverley Scotland, an independent publishing company based in Glasgow, has created a range of Tartan Commonplace Notebooks, bound in genuine tartan cloth. The tartan cloth is supplied by and produced with the authority of Kinloch Anderson Scotland, holders of Royal Warrants of Appointment as Tailors and Kiltmakers to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales. Kinloch Anderson Scotland were established in 1868 and still operate today as tailors and kiltmakers, specialists in tartan and highland dress, and are based in Leith, Edinburgh. Three years ago, in our detailed research on a book called 'Robert Burns in Edinburgh', we realised how widespread the use of the 'Commonplace' notebook had been. Robert Burns used one; many in the Enlightenment period used commonplace notebooks. Commonplace books (or commonplaces) were a way to compile and accumulate knowledge, thoughts and ideas into books, filled with items of every kind: quotes, letters, poems, anecdotes, sketches, tables of weights and measures, medical recipes, proverbs, prayers, and legal formulas. They were used by readers, writers, students, and scholars as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts they had learned.By the 17th century, commonplacing was formally taught to university students. By the early eighteenth century commonplace books had become information and management devices .They were used by many thinkers and scientists of the Scottish Enlightenment, such as Frances Hutcheson, David Hume, Adam Smith, Dugald Stewart, Thomas Reid, Adam Ferguson, John Playfair, Joseph Black and James Hutton. Commonplacing was particularly attractive to authors including Robert Burns, Walter Scott, John Milton, Francis Bacon, E.M. Forster, W.H. Auden, Arthur Conan Doyle and Virginia Woolf.Today, despite the developments of electronic and digital management recording systems, the demand for high quality notebooks remains. Especially when you have forgotten your charger. Over the years Waverley has researched and published many aspects of Scottish history, and historical figures, and we are passionate about Scottish heritage and tartan. And if you wish to see one of Robert Burns' commonplace notebooks, there is one proudly on display at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, Alloway.There is 1 product in this category.If you like the purple of heather tartan notebooks, look no further...If you like the purple of heather tartan notebooks, look no further...

Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Maclean of Duart (pocket)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Maclean of Duart (pocket)Our price: £10.99ViewThe Maclean of Duart tartan is a rich blend of reds and dark green fretted with pale blue, yellow and white.The Macleans claim descent from Gillean of the Battleaxe, a kinsman of Fergus Mor, the sixth-century ruler of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada. The progenitor of the clan was Lachlan Lubanach who lived in the late 14th century. Lachlan was married to the daughter of the 1st Lord of the Isles and from him received lands in Mull. Mull is an island located off the west coast of Scotland. Lachlan is recorded as being the first Maclean to occupy Duart Castle, the ancient stronghold of the Maclean chiefs. At the end of the 15th century, James IV (1473–1513) successfully challenged the power and independence of the Gaelic clans, and in 1493 Lachlan Maclean was stripped of his lands and titles. The Macleans, who had supported the monarch, received royal confirmation of their possessions and titles, which now included lands in Tiree, Jura, Islay, Morvern and Lochaber.During the 16th century the Campbells emerged as the most powerful clan in the West Highlands. Several marriages took place between the Macleans and the Campbells, but the match between Lachlan Maclean and the daughter of the 2nd Earl of Argyll proved disastrous. Lachlan despised his wife so much that he marooned her on a rock in the Sound of Mull and left her to drown, before reporting her death to her family. However, the lady was rescued by fishermen and returned to her clan, and her brother stabbed Lachlan to death in revenge for his cruelty.Duart Castle fell to the Hanoverians during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion and was unoccupied until 1911, when it was repurchased and renovated by the clan chief.Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – MacPherson RedWaverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – MacPherson RedOur price: £10.99ViewThe MacPherson Red tartan is a warm blend of reds and blues which is crossed with black, green, bright yellow and white.The Scottish Gaelic for MacPherson, Mac a’ Phersein, means “son of the parson”. The Celtic church allowed priests to marry, and as an occupational name, you’ll find families with the name throughout Scotland. As a clan, the progenitor of the chiefs of Clan MacPherson is believed to have been a man named Muriach (or Muireach) Cattenach who was the parson of Kingussie in Badenoch. MacPhersons originated in Lochaber, though they were given lands in Badenoch – now the district of Badenoch and Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands – by Robert the Bruce as reward for defeating the Comyns (or Cummings) who were Bruce’s bitter enemies. MacPhersons are said to have been the early chiefs of Clan Chattan – which is a confederation of several clans – in the 12th century before that clan came under Mackintosh leadership. The Clan Chattan is sometimes referred to as the “Clan of the cats” because many of its constituent clans have a wild cat in their clan badge. The MacPherson clan motto is “Touch not the cat but a glove”, meaning “Don’t touch the cat without gloves”.The clan fought for Montrose in the Civil War (1642–49). They supported the Stuart cause during the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745.There is an annual Clan Gathering held at Newtonmore every August and there is also a Clan Museum in that town. The home of the current Chief, Sir William Alan MacPherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie, is Newton Castle, Blairgowrie.About the notebook: This notebook is made with cloth woven in mills in the United Kingdom. Notebook pages and paper components are made with acid-free paper from sustainable forests. Boards used in the binding process are made of 100% recycled paper.

Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – MalcolmWaverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – MalcolmOur price: £10.99ViewThe Malcolm tartan is dark blue-green background with contrasting yellow, blue and red lines.The clans Malcolm and MacCallum are joined. The names sound alike and have similar derivations, depending on which history you read. Although some historians suggest they are related, others are of the opinion that they are not genealogically linked at all. In 1779, the chief of the Clan MacCallum, Dugald MacCallum, the ninth of Poltalloch, adopted the name Malcolm after inheriting the Malcolm estate, and the two clans were joined together under the same chief.The name Malcolm has the privilege of being the first name of four of Scotland’s kings and comes from the Early Gaelic words Mael Coluimb meaning monk of Saint Columba (521–597), the Irish Abbot and missionary credited with spreading Christianity around what is now Scotland. (Mael literally means shavenhead.) MacCallum comes from the Gaelic MacChaluim meaning the son of Callum, while some say MacCallum is derived from Mac Ghille Chaluim which means “son of the disciple of Columba”.Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Murray of Atholl Ancient (large)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Murray of Atholl Ancient (large)Our price: £15.99ViewThe Murray of Atholl Ancient tartan is soft blend of black, blue and green, with contrasting red lines.
Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Murray of Atholl Ancient (pocket)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Murray of Atholl Ancient (pocket)Our price: £10.99ViewThe Murray of Atholl Ancient tartan is soft blend of black, blue and green, with contrasting red lines.It is said that the Murrays are descended from Freskin, a Pictish noble who lived in the time of David I (12th century). Freskin’s grandson William assumed the designation of “de Moravia” reflecting his ownership of land in the area of Moray. The Murrays of Tullibardine, progenitors of the Dukes of Atholl and the chiefs of the Clan Murray of Atholl, are descended from one of William de Moravia’s sons.John Murray (1608–1642) was the son of William, 2nd Earl of Tullibardine (c. 1574–1626) and Dorothea Stewart (heir of the 5th Earl of Atholl). John Murray was created Earl of Atholl in the Peerage of Scotland in 1629. He was the 1st Earl of Atholl with the surname Murray.John Murray, the 2nd Marquess of Atholl (1660–1724) became 1st Duke of Atholl in 1703. The Duke of Atholl is the hereditary chief of Clan Murray. The Duke gathered 4,000 men in an attempt to oppose the Union of 1707. He did not support the Jacobite Rebellions, but his elder son William Murray, Marquess of Tullibardine (1689–1746) and his younger son Lord George Murray (1694–1760) fought for Charles Edward Stuart in the Jacobite army. Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – RobertsonWaverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – RobertsonOur price: £10.99ViewThe Robertson tartan is an intense red crossed with broad bands of navy and dark green.Clan Robertson, the Gaelic Clann DhÒnchaidh, “children of Duncan”, claims descent from Duncan I, King of Scots (who ruled 1034–1040). Donnachadh Reamhar (Duncan the Stout – stout-hearted rather than “fat”) son of Andrew of Atholl, was the first recognised chief of the clan in the early 14th century, and his family were known as Duncanson. Duncan’s relatives and followers are said to have supported Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn (1314). Duncan is said to have been killed at the Battle of Neville’s Cross (1346), and was succeeded by his eldest son Robert. The Robert from whom the clan takes its name though, is Robert Riabach (“Grizzled”) who in 1437 captured the murderers of King James I. As a reward, King James II gave Robert a charter in which all of his lands were made into a feudal barony. The barony in Perthshire was called Struan and the chiefs of the clan were from then onwards known as Robertson of Struan. Afterwards, the clan remained faithful to the Stewart Earls of Atholl. The Robertsons fought under Montrose for Charles I. Alexander Robertson, 17th of Struan (c. 1669–1749), is said to have led 600 clansmen to join Bonnie Dundee (John Graham of Claverhouse, c. 16481689) at the Battle of Killiecrankie (1689), but arrived too late. He fought in the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite Rebellions. The clan’s most precious relic, carried by all Robertson chiefs since the battle of Bannockburn, is the Clach na Brataich, a clear stone that was unearthed when the chief’s standard pole was pulled out of the ground while on the march to the battle. The clan’s motto is Virtutis gloria merces, “Glory is the reward of valour”.Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Royal Stewart (pocket)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Royal Stewart (pocket)Our price: £10.99ViewRoyal Stewart Pocket Notebook made with British tartan cloth and bound in recycled boards.

Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Stewart Modern Camel (pocket)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Stewart Modern Camel (pocket)Our price: £10.99ViewThe Stewart Modern Camel tartan featured on this notebook is predominantly light brown in colour, with white black and red, and has a light and contemporary feel to it. It is one of over 30 tartans associated with Clan Stewart. The differences incorporate different branches, different areas of origin and further variations using labels such as “dress” and “hunting”. The name Stewart reflects the Clan’s illustrious origins. The original family name, from Brittany, had been fitz Alan. Walter fitz Alan (1110–1177) was High Steward of Scotland during the reign of David I (1124–1153). The name Stewart is derived from the title of that office, and Walter (d. 1246), 3rd High Steward of Scotland took Stewart as the family surname.

They were notorious Border Reivers. Reivers were families who raided the Border lands. They came from both England and Scotland.The Elliots are said to be of Breton origin. They came to Britain with William the Conqueror’s invading army in 1066. Elliots have many varied spellings of their name. They settled all over the British Isles. They are based at Glenshee in Angus and they gave their name to Elliot Water in Angus. However, around the time of Robert the Bruce, they made a move to Teviotdale in the Borders.The principal family in the early 15th century was Elliot of Redheugh. In 1426, a John Elwalde of Teviotdale is recorded. In 1476, Robert Ellot of Redheugh appears as the 10th chief of the clan. Before that, Robert Ellot built a strong tower on a cliff overlooking the ford on Hermitage Water in Liddesdale in 1470. This was just one of about 100-strong towers around Liddesdale which belonged to the Ellots. They shared them with the Clan Armstrong, another Border Reiver clan. The Elliots of Stobs are also in the Borders. They can be traced back to Gawain Elliot of Stobs in the late 16th century. Gawain was descended from the Elliots of Redheugh. Elliot is an adapted version of the old English name Elwold. There is also a theory that it is derived from the name of an old Breton tribe, Halgoët. Halgoët is based on the Breton word for willow or saugh tree. The names Elwald, Elwalde and Ellot were common variations.Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks – Isle of Skye (large)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks – Isle of Skye (large)Our price: £15.99ViewThe Isle of Skye tartan blends rich, heathery purples with shades of misty and mossy greens.The Isle of Skye, long celebrated for its beauty in poetry and song, is situated off the west coast of Scotland, connected to the mainland by a bridge. The island’s largest town is Portree, famous for the brightly coloured houses in its harbour.Skye’s history includes a period of Norse rule and domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. It suffered particularly in the 18th-century following the Jacobite Risings, and with the breaking up of the clan system, and following the Highland Clearances that led entire communities to have to leave their land – some via forced emigrations. After the failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, Flora MacDonald helped to rescue Prince Charles Edward Stuart from the Hanoverian troops, disguising him and taking him to Skye to hide.Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks – Royal Stewart (large)Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks – Royal Stewart (large)Our price: £15.99ViewThe Royal Stewart tartan is a rich red with black banding, crossed with a myriad of yellow, blue, green and white.The progenitor of this noble family was a Breton, Alan Fitz Flaad (fl. c. 1090c. 1120). In England, Alan was appointed Sheriff of Shropshire by Henry I. His son Walter Fitz Alan (1106–1177), was created High Steward of Scotland in the reign of David I (1084–1153), an office where the duties included managing the King’s finances. The title was made hereditary in the family by Malcolm IV. Walter, the 3rd High Steward of Scotland (d. 1246), assumed the name of his office as his family surname, Stewart. Walter the 6th High Steward (1296–1327) married Marjory Bruce (d. 1246), the daughter of King Robert the Bruce (1274–1329). When David II died (1324–1371), he was succeeded by Walter Stewart’s son, Robert (1316–1390), 1st of the Royal House of Stewart. King Robert II’s eldest son John, succeeded as Robert III (1337–1405). The royal line of male Stewarts was uninterrupted until the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots (1542–1587). Mary was executed for supposedly plotting against Elizabeth I of England. Her son James VI became James I of England (1566–1625) and ruled for 57 years. His son Charles I was beheaded for defying the government and Charles II was deposed because of his religion. James VII and II, married to Mary of Modena, produced a Catholic heir, James Francis Edward Stuart. For this James II was deposed and the family exiled in France. In 1702, claiming his father’s lost throne, James Francis was attainted for treason in London, and his titles forfeited. The Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1745 in Scotland, aimed, but failed, to put a Stewart (now Stuart) back on the Scottish throne.The Royal Stewart “sett” is known as “the Royal Tartan”. The Stewarts have several tartans, the Royal being the most famous.

Leod’s sons were the progenitors of two main branches of the clan – the Clan of Torquil in Lewis and the Clan of Tormod in Skye and Harris.The MacLeods were vassals (subjects) of the Lords of the Isles but managed to avoid forfeiture of their lands after James IV had asserted his right over the Gaelic clans of the Hebrides. However, they were forced to defend their possessions with the sword against the interests of rival clans.Alasdair, 8th Chief of Harris (1450–1547), was one of the most distinguished of the MacLeod chiefs. In 1542 he obtained a charter for the lands of Trotternish on Skye, which had been the cause of a long feud between the MacDonalds and the MacLeods. He also built St Clements Church at Rodel in Harris and the Fairy Tower at Dunvegan Castle on Skye, the ancient seat of the MacLeod chief.While the principal branch of the family prospered under Alasdair, the line of Torquil was less fortunate. At the beginning of the 16th century the MacLeod lands in Lewis, and those acquired through marriage at Assynt in Sutherland, were forfeited after the MacLeod chief supported Donald Dubh in his attempt to claim the Lordship of the Isles. Although the lands were restored a few years later, the clan was weakened by internal disputes at the beginning of the 17th century and their lands passed to the Mackenzies through marriage. The MacLeod of Lewis tartan is one of the most recognisable designs, first depicted in a portrait dating from around 1830.Waverley Scotland Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks merchandising display unitWaverley Scotland Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks merchandising display unitOur price: £0.00ViewAn acrylic stand designed to hold 24 copies of the pocket size Waverley Scotland Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks.Waverley Scotland Tartan Commonplace Guest Book – Thistle Tartan (Kinloch Anderson)Waverley Scotland Tartan Commonplace Guest Book – Thistle Tartan (Kinloch Anderson)Our price: £20.00ViewNothing says 'remember' an occasion more than a guest book signed by friends and visitors.
