Highland Style
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 Highland dress, bagpipes and Highland landscapes are the images of Scotland that first spring to mind. National Museums Scotland holds a significant collection of Highland dress and tartan clothing. The aim of Rosie Waine's two-year research project include a survey of the collection and an exploration of how such outfits became an integral part of Scottish identity on a global stage.

Very interesting discussion about highland dress. I especially liked learning about the history/usage of tartan. Tartan has a living meaning.
Lots of photos and upload details of the outfits.
This is not the NMS’s fault (because they don’t have this in their collections), but I wish there had been more discussion of women’s clothing.
