From Tartan to Tartanry critically reevaluates one of the more controversial issues in current debates on Scottish culture—whether Scottish identity and ideas about Scotland are manufactured or organically linked to the country's heritage. The volume unites the voices of leading researchers, who conduct historical and critically sound evaluations of this issue.
