Lightweight, advertising, copyrighted material stated on cover should have been a clue
Kinloch Anderson have employed the services of Tartan expert historians over their history to keep this family owned firm on track and justify the additional expense of their products. Harry Lindley who catalogued tartans for them over many years, designed their history museum doesn't even get a mention. Ken McLeod who developed laser technology gets no credit. Only 'the family' or firm get credit for achievements. It is short on history and big on less than subtle advertising.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
