Tartan sample, woven by William Wilson & Sons of BannockburnThis tartan sample, mounted on paper, was woven by William Wilson & Sons, a tartan weaving firm from Bannockburn near Stirling. This is Wilsons' Plaid for the Band or Musicians' tartan and was worn by the 42nd and 93rd Bands, possibly others too, c. 1820. The 1822 visit of George IV to Edinburgh boosted the popularity of tartan as did Queen Victoria's love of the Highlands. She and her family wore tartan and Balmoral, her Deeside home, had tartan carpets and furnishings. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
