Learn the history of Scottish Highland dress through the Middle Ages up to the seventeenth century.  Information on the léine, the belted plaid, early tartans, Gaelic footwear and more!  Early Highland Dress is a practical guide to what the Scottish Highlanders wore during that all-too-often ignored period in Highland Dress history prior to the Jacobite era.  The reader will learn about the léine, cuarain, and the arisaid.  And yes, you’ll learn how to wear the belted plaid as well!

Inside you will find a pattern for the léine, thread counts for many early tartans, and years of experience wearing historic Highland dress!

Available in spiral bound paperback or on CD-ROM (Adobe software included) from the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop.
