The Isle of Skye tartan blends rich, heathery purples with shades of misty and mossy greens.

The Isle of Skye, long celebrated for its beauty in poetry and song, is situated off the west coast of Scotland, connected to the mainland by a bridge. The island’s largest town is Portree, famous for the brightly coloured houses in its harbour.

Skye’s history includes a period of Norse rule and domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. It suffered particularly in the 18th-century following the Jacobite Risings, and with the breaking up of the clan system, and following the Highland Clearances that led entire communities to have to leave their land – some via forced emigrations.

After the failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, Flora MacDonald helped to rescue Prince Charles Edward Stuart from the Hanoverian troops, disguising him and taking him to Skye to hide. Today, the main industries are tourism, agriculture, fishing and forestry. About a third of the residents are fluent in the Gaelic language, which is important to island culture.

The Isle of Skye real cloth notebook is a hardback notebook bound in genuine tartan cloth with elastic closure, ribbon marker, eight perforated end leaves and expandable inner note holder.

Each includes a removable booklet and bookmark giving information on the specific tartan used for the binding.

Waverley Scotland Tartan Cloth Commonplace Notebooks – each with 192 pages (left blank, right ruled), acid-free, threadsewn, 80 gsm cream shade pages – are bound in genuine Scottish tartan cloth over board, with round-cornered cover and bookblock corners, stained edges and a matching elastic closure.

The tartan cloth is supplied by and produced with the authority of Kinloch Anderson Scotland, holders of Royal Warrants of Appointment as Tailors and Kiltmakers to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales.
