Highland Style Av Rosie Waine

Ideas about the Scottish Highlands which took hold around the turn of the 19th century remain to the present day – for many people across the world Highland dress, bagpipes and Highland landscapes are the images of Scotland that first spring to mind. National Museums Scotland holds a significant collection of Highland dress and tartan clothing. The aims of Dr Rosie Waine''s two-year research project include a survey of the collection and an exploration of how such outfits became an integral part of Scottish identity on a global stage.
