Titanic Tartans: An Ulster-Scots Cultural Odyssey

Matthew J Browning

Titanic Tartans is a testimony to perseverance and dedication in the face of difficulties; to care over little things; to sustaining faith at a time of personal loss; to believing that truth will prevail. It also tells the story of how the author was drawn into what must ultimately be seen as a fascinating work of revisionist research on a subject very much at the heart of the culture of a people throughout their history. There is only one word to describe it: ‘Identity’.

Titanic Tartans is a good read, and puts into perspective the proper place of tartan and the kilt. It also opens the door to historical study in a vast field of research embracing the questions, “Who am I? What am I? Where do I come from? Why?”.
