- Kiltmaking
- Scottish Dress for Ladies
- Early marketing history, exporting and brand development
- The Global Impact of Tartan
- A walk round the fascinating Kinloch Anderson Heritage Room at the Company's Edinburgh HQ.

There is also a timeline of significant Company milestones. This book is a remarkable look inside one of Scotland's greatest commercial enterprises whose products are available in many markets and are immediately recognisable as quintessentially Scottish.

Richly illustrated in full colour and personally signed by Deirdre Kinloch Anderson. Available to buy online for £25.00.

The perfect gift for the Highland Dress enthusiasts and expatriate Scots.
