If you like black and dark tartan notebooks, look no further... Black. We're thinking inky, dark, sable, coal, raven, ebony, jet, gun-metal, night, sooty, and the associations of this colour are very strong: power, sophistication, authority, rebellion, strength, elegance, Armani, formality, death, funereal, mystery. Think Ian Fleming's Mr Bond also, and his dark suits, and the cutting dash of the After Eight mint, and a black tie event. Lovely. Some people won't wear it, others wear only black. It's striking and makes a statement.However, we have added notebooks/journals with black threads in this category, as we had differing views here in the office. Colour is always subjective after all...There are 20 products in this category.
If you like green tartan notebooks, look no further...Emerald, pea, olive, grass, leaf, charteuse, lime green, forest green, seagreen, dark olive, green-yellow, spring-green and khaki. Green is the colour of growth, spring, rebirth and renewal. It restores us and renews us, and those with depleted energy are revived with green. It brings us a sense of well being. It brings a sanctuary from the strain of today and renews our sense of personality. Green as a colour to wear can mean calm and kindness, compassion and generosity. You are good to have around in a crisis if you are dressed in green! Think of Robin Hood. In the west, green is a colour of luck and freshness and calm, and in China and Japan, green is the colour of new birth, youth and hope. But a green hat in China can be a symbol of infidelity. There are 28 products in this category.
If you like yellow tartan notebooks, look no further... Lemon, lemon-chiffon, moccasin, peachpuff, pale gold, gold, khaki, yellow-green, olive, dark olive, lime-green, green-yellow, spring-green, primrose.
We've added in the notebooks with a yellow elastic. Yellow is the colour associated with freshness and hope. It is for sunshine and positivity, happiness and clarity, energy and optimism. It is for enlightenment and remembrance, primroses and light. But too much can be a bad thing and babies apparently cry more in an over-yellow room. It can also mean cowardice and deceit or can mean caution and sickness. Black and yellow are combined for school buses in America as the two colours together stand out from long distances.There are 2 products in this category.
If you like brown, tan, biscuit, caramel, chocolate, bronze, rust, nut-brown, coppery.. tartan notebooks, look no further... What's in a name or colour? The hues of brown are many: tan, biscuit, caramel, mushroom, chocolate, russet, tawny, coppery, copper, nut-brown, bronze... We've gathered those tartan notebooks we have that fall into this category and wonder if we should add more. Brown shoes are often worn with kilts of all tartans and look good. We love these notebook shades and hope you do too.There are 13 products in this category.
If you like orange tartan notebooks, look no further... For this category, you will find the orange tartans we have but also notebooks with an elastic closure that is orange.
Apricot, ginger, cantaloupe, tomato, coral, peach, auburn, carrot, salmon, titian, tangerine, flame, copper, brass, vermilion, pumpkin, citrus, burnt-orange, orange-yellow-brown.
In terms of association, orange spiritually, psychologically and intuitively is the colour of creativity, fascination, enthusiasm, and determination. It's a happy colour, symbolising success, happiness, encouragement, stimulation and heat. It is used in advertising to represent holidays, sun, warmth, tropical surroundings and fire and sunshine.There are 3 products in this category.
If you like grey tartan notebooks, look no further... Grey - it is timeless, elegant, cool and balanced. Sophisticated and formal, and fits in anywhere. Practical and goes with most other colours. An ideal choice when you're not sure what to get. There are 2 products in this category.
If you like a dash of white in your tartan notebooks, look no further... White always cuts a dash in a tartan. Elegant, striking. timeless - often white thread is used as part of the design in a dress tartan, and you would wear those for an official event such as a ball, ceilidh, wedding, function. There are 10 products in this category.

Waverley Scotland Genuine Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebook – Colquhoun AncientOur price: £10.99ViewColquhoun Ancient Tartan Pocket Commonplace Notebook 14 x 9cm 176 pages Left side blank, right side ruled. Comes with a printed clan map of Scotland and a brief history of tartan. The Colquhoun Ancient Tartan is green with blue and black, with thin white and red stripes.The Colquhouns are a Lowland clan. They adopted the surname 'Colquhoun' after the name of the Dunbartonshire lands that they were granted in the time of Alexander II's reign. The principal branch of the family is based in Luss at Loch Lomond. Their historic seat was at the now-ruined Dunglass Castle by the River Clyde in West Dunbartonshire. The Colquhouns also have a connection to Dumbarton Castle. Dumbarton Castle is open to the public, but little of the mediaeval structure remains. King James 1 is said to have asked John Colquhoun, 10th of Luss, if he would seize Dumbarton Castle. The chief is said to have replied in French 'Si Je Puis', which became the clan motto “If I can”. The chief's clansmen did secure the castle. Since 1875, the Luss Highland Gathering has been held just outside the village. The chief of Clan Colquhoun is the chieftain of the games.
