The Scottish Register of Tartans website will be of interest to genealogists, textile aficionados, and history buffs in equal measure. This online database of tartan designs, established by the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008 and administered by the National Records of Scotland, is searchable by Tartan name, Designer, Registration Date, and Colours (as well a number of other more specialized apects, like threadcount). For those wishing to purchase lengths of their family tartan, the Scottish designers page lists current designers and weavers operating in Scotland, as well as a link to the STA (Scottish Tartan Authority) website. The History section defines tartan, cites sources from the National Records of Scotland, and relays interesting bits of history, such as the earliest mention of 'Highland tartan', 1538; or a Comic postcard dating from the 1920s, showing a young boy in a tartan kilt.
