Traditional Highland Civilian Dress: A Definition and Guide with Visual Examples

[CMcG]

I'm definitely late to this thread. A good synopsis, well done.

A couple of date corrections to the OP if I may. The Battle of Culloden took place in 1746 not 1745 and the Act of Proscription was effective from 01 August 1747 not 1746.

George IV's visit was popularised and promoted by Scott and helped codify the concept of clan tartans but the Highland Revival which began in the early 1780s was equally if not more important and the precursor what was to come. It differed from the popularization the surrounded the 1822 Levee in that it was principally the preserve of the Highland gentry many of whom were involved with the Highland Society of London and/or one of the various Celtic Societies.

Thanks very much for your comments, figheadair. I have amended the OP.
