5.0 out of 5 stars
best book for guest use ar scottish games and gatherings,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tartan for Me! Suggested Tartans for Scottish, Scotch-Irish, Irish, and North American Surnames With Lists of Clan, Family, and District Tartans (Spiral-bound)
virtualy every clan and district group at scottish games all over the u.s. (150 a year in usa)use the perfect quick reference guide for the guests who come to the games to find something of their heritage as it relates to family names ,tartans and some location geographicaslly speaking. a big plus is that when we are swamped "tartan for me " is really user friendly , too bad it does not include tartan color samples,

Delightful Resource to MY Clan, District, and Family Surames,
By Ruth G. Hudson "RHudson; grateful gramma" (Warsaw, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Tartan for Me! Suggested Tartans for Scottish, Scotch-Irish, Irish, and North American Surnames With Lists of Clan, Family, and District Tartans (Spiral-bound)
When this book arrived in the mail last week, I took to it like a kid from yesteryear when the new Sears Christmas Catalog would arrive before Thanksgiving - - (like sugarplums, etc.)I found my Dad's family name was from the Paisley District, plus my husband's English name showed up with an O'. Fun to learn that the "Mac, Mc, and M'" all meant the same; "son of"!! Plus, the North American pronouncement of these prefixes is "Mik". Haven't yet learned where the "O'" represents. A quick glance through the book tells the reader instantly that this research has been a loving and diligent work-in-progress. The price is so reasonable that I'm giving thought to tucking a copy in a few Christmas stockings this year! Next to my photo album hobby, this search for family tartan plaids, etc. etc. is my newest and exciting adventure. (A lady in our town has years of weaving experience, and we've used THIS BOOK to get us started on her weaving project of my family's plaid!) What a hoot!

Full of interesting information, useful for someone who is constantly needing to check which tartans go with what name.
