This Dress Tartan mini real cloth tartan notebook with pen is part of the Scottish Traditions series. Many dress tartans adopted a white stripe in the sett to signify the difference of wearing a tartan for an occasion, or celebration. This tartan combines the elegance of navy, burgundy, moss green, black and white. This is one of Kinloch Anderson's house tartans ranges. This pocket notebook contains a bookmark and map of Scotland, and an inner note holder at the back. This mini notebook has an elastic closure, ribbon marker, eight perforated end leaves, and an expandable inner note holder, and a pen. The pages are blank on the left hand side and lined on the right hand side. People have commented that the size is very dinky and ideal for a pocket or bag. Ideal for a gift for a visitor or for the pocket, this notebook is high quality and tactile. Early weavers used local plants and natural products for their dyes so the locality of the weaver affected the colours of the local tartan. The genuine tartan cloth used for this notebook is supplied by and produced with the authority of Kinloch Anderson Scotland. Commonplace notebooks date back to the Scottish Enlightenment. Many thinkers and writers used a Commonplace notebook for writing down ideas and knowledge. Adam Smith, Robert Burns, David Hume, and later, writers such as Sir Walter Scott, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Virginia Woolf used commonplace notebooks.
