Looking for a book !

Can someone tell me from which book these illustrations are taken from ?

Thank you,
Robert

I know someone else will come up with the name, but I grew up with this book. The edition we had wasn't much bigger than palm of my adult hand, was hard cover and had 'all' the tartans listed with those great illustrations. Brought back some fond memories!

Robert - it's from The Scottish Tartans, Histories of the Clans, Chief's arms and Clansmen's Badges published by Johnston & Bacon 1945, last reprint (my copy) 1979.

I recently picked up a copy of this from eBay - they are not expensive.

Holy cow, that is inexpensive.

Hard back or paper?

I have the 1973 edition that I acquired from Amazon and I don't remember what I paid but it was dirt cheap. It might have been under a dollar + shipping.
