Abstract
For many people across the world, Highland dress, bagpipes and Highland landscapes are the images of Scotland that first spring to mind. Ideas about the Scottish Highlands which took hold around the turn of the 19th century remain to the present day.
National Museums Scotland holds a significant collection of Highland dress and tartan clothing. The aims of 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.
