HIGHLAND STYLE (NMS)

Ideas about the Scottish Highlands which took hold around the turn of the 19th century remain to the present day. For many people across the world kilts, bagpipes and heather strewn landscapes are the images of Scotland that first spring to mind. National Museums Scotland holds a significant collection of Highland dress and tartan clothing. This book is a detailed survey of the collection and an exploration of how such outfits became an integral part of Scottish identity on a global stage.
