Each tartan is different and belongs to a particular Scottish Clan. England's King George IV attended a grand reception at Holyrood in 1822 wearing a Stuart plaid kilt.
'Tartanware' is the name given to the delightful wooden souvenirs made in or near the village of Mauchline, once home to the poet Robert Burns. The area was already known for its transfer-decorated wooden trinkets. This included a ground-breaking snuff box, which featured an airtight wooden hinge that prevented snuff from going stale. But it's the firm of William and Andrew Smith that, until their unfortunate demise in the 1930s, will forever be associated with tartanware. By the 1840s, Smiths had invented an ingenious machine that could print out colorful tartan patterns to a high standard – a bit like a Victorian version of the modern ink-jet copier. Workers pasted the finished paper on to sycamore wood, hid the unsightly joints with black paint, and applied several coats of varnish with care.
