The Complete Book of Tartan

World Tartans

Amazon.com has a good selection of new and used books on tartans, clans, and Scotland.  The Complete Book of Tartan and World Tartans are two of the books I used for research and are available from Amazon.  They also sell cross stitch floss, knitting/crochet yarn, and Aida and latch hook canvas.

Powell’s

Powells.com has a good selection of used and new books on tartans, clans, and Scotland.  Four of the books I used for research were ordered from this site.

Everything Cross Stitch

EverythingCrossStitch.com has cross stitch floss and 16-count Aida cross-stitch canvas.

Eveything Latch Hook

EverythingLatchHook.com has 3.75 count latch hook canvas.

Scot Clans

ScotClans.com has a wonderful search feature that allows you to input a family name and it will return the corresponding clan name, if any.  It also includes a Tartan Pattern Book with hundreds of tartan designs displayed.  Oh, and it also sells kilts and other tartan fabrics, jewelry, and gifts.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia.org has a wealth of information on tartans, clans, and Scotland.  I used the Wikipedia extensively in my research.  Search for the family/clan name under the form “Clan Surname” (e.g., “Clan Chattan”).

Scottish Register of Tartans

The Scottish Register of Tartans is a national repository of tartan designs.  The Register contains all known Scottish tartans, plus U.S. and state tartans, and others.  It is a fascinating site to browse through.
