Tartan celebrates the global story of a unique pattern – how the rules of the grid have inspired creativity from the everyday to the sublime.
The instantly recognisable symbol of Scotland, a global textile of tradition, rebellion, oppression and fashion, Tartan has connected and divided communities worldwide, inspiring great works of art and playful and provocative designs.
Experience dazzling objects from around the world, from the high fashion of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen to Jackie Stewart’s racing helmet, from the portrait of rugby legend Doddie Weir to the MacBean tartan, which rocketed to the moon. See tartan worn by Bonnie Prince Charlie and Bay City Rollers trousers handmade by a lifelong fan, together with the indigenous textiles of Indian Madras and the humble Scottish shortbread tin.
The website has a fun and informative short video and many photographs.
The show runs until Sunday, the 14th of January, 2024.
