| The design comes from the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842).
The authors, the Sobieski Stuart brothers, enjoyed a popular following
among the Scottish gentry in the early Victorian era, and in the spirit
of the times, added mystery, romance and some spurious historical
documentation to the subject of tartan. Of the better known tartans,
the book offers some minor variation, but in other cases it provides
the only recorded version of many tartans in use today.
