MacKinnon, c1935
MacKinnon, c1935. Tartan is a pattern consisting of horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Originally these were simply different regional checked-cloth patterns, chosen by the wearers preference without particular reference to propriety. In the mid-nineteenth century, however, many patterns were created and artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, or institutions. Tartans originated in woven wool, but are now made in many other materials in hundreds of patterns. Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. Tartan is often called plaid in North America. Illustration from a book on Scottish tartans, published c1935

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1930s showcases MacKinnon, a proud Scotsman adorned in traditional tartan attire. Tartan, a pattern consisting of colorful horizontal and vertical bands, has deep roots in Scottish culture. Originally, these patterns were chosen based on personal preference rather than any specific meaning or propriety. However, during the mid-nineteenth century, numerous tartan designs were created and artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, and institutions. Traditionally woven from wool but now available in various materials and hundreds of patterns, tartans have become synonymous with Scottish kilts. In North America, tartan is often referred to as plaid. This illustration comes from a book dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Scottish tartans published around 1935. The image transports us back to an era when tradition and pride intertwined seamlessly within Scotland's cultural fabric. MacKinnon stands tall as an embodiment of his ancestry while proudly displaying his clan's distinctive tartan pattern. The vibrant colors evoke a sense of warmth and vitality against the backdrop of Scotland's picturesque landscapes. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph print today, it serves as a reminder that traditions like tartan continue to connect generations across time and space. It symbolizes not only the beauty of textiles but also the enduring spirit that binds communities together through shared heritage.
