Map of the Clans and Tartans of Scotland

This map of Scotland indicates the general sphere of influence held by the clans and considerable families at the beginning of the 17th century. Some clans and families held small areas of land, and if their names are not on this map, they were not necessarily landless. The areas representing the ancient Principalities of Scotland are indicated on the map. Scotland has a rich and enduring culture steeped in history. One of the most distinctive features, of which are probably that of clanship and the predominantly Highland clans. Highland dress and the tartan is a powerful symbol of the wearerAEs pride in a Scottish ancestry and in Scotland itself. There are few, if any, other forms of national dress which can claim to make such a clear and unequivocal statement, and to be so instantly and widely recognisable
