520 _a"Old and Rare Scottish Tartans: With Historical Introduction and Descriptive Notices" by Donald William Stewart is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the rich traditions and examples of tartan patterns that are embedded in Scottish heritage, exploring their historical significance and the stories behind their designs. It serves as both a resource for those interested in Scottish culture and a scholarly examination of tartan’s role in familial and regional identities. The opening of this work sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of tartans, emphasizing the author's intent to make lesser-known historical examples accessible and to articulate their origins. The Preface outlines the extensive research conducted, including visits to various families to examine tartans depicted in artworks and historical records. Stewart's ambition is not only to catalogue these tartans but to provide context by referencing historical literature, which aids in understanding the evolution of Highland dress and the meanings associated with various patterns over time. The introduction delves into early references to Highland dress, drawing from historical texts and chronicles that shape the narrative of tartan in Scottish culture.
