Tartan

amongst the Highland regimes. It is also by the Highland Regimes adoption of the garment that “the idea of differentiating tartan by clans” came into existence (Roper 25). The kilt’s popularization also came with criticism as many people questioned its value and historic value against normal pant trousers. Similar to the British Parliament’s purposed ban on the kilt, the Highland society had to fight the Kilt’s repeal. Since the kilt was already so integrated into Highland culture and society, they were successful in removing its repeal despite the fact that the garment is more modern in its invention. With this Highland society triumph and the existence of the kilt becoming more validated, the push for Highland culture continued to be adopted by individuals who believed in its false antiquity. Individuals such as Colonel David Stewart ad Sir Walter Scott sustained the ideology behind the history of the kilt by, “promot[ing] the general use of the ancient highlander dress in the Highlands [and Edinburgh]” (Roper 29). Subsequently, this highland tradition of wearing Kilts started gaining popularity across Scotland and also caught the attention of King George IV. The King’s visit promoted a public presentation of Highlander fashion and clan tartan representation. It is at this occasion that the myth of the of the Highland clan garment achieved “new momentum the tartan industry and inspired a new fantasy to serve that industry” (Roper…

Reading question 1: 1. CH4 exercise question 1: One activity is critical to me and needs to be added to the “code-and-fix model”[1] is the design review. This design review should be added after Problem statement and before Code. It could be done by the software engineer himself, or the software engineer could also invite others to review his design. This is important since we will spend less effort to find design bugs if we filter those bugs as early as possible. From the Tartan case study[2],…

In the article “ Smart Machines Are Not a Threat to Humanity”, Alan Bundy argued against people’s fear of Artificial Intelligence. Many predictions have been made about our future if machines or robots become more intelligent, and people are afraid that one day machines will owe humans as pets, kill them or take over their job opportunity. Bundy noted that machines can be smart but not in all aspects for instance, medical diagnosis machines can give a wrong treatment when they face a disease…

He came from a renowned family in Scotland, eminent for work in the legal field. Dundas too had joined the field, but was quite apathetic towards it and therefore commenced his parliamentary career. A proud Scotsman, he replaced the Disarming Act to allow Scottish Highlanders to wear kilts and tartans again—perhaps why the artist decided to dress him in a tartan kilt in his caricature. Three of Dundas’ younger brothers went to India and two passed away there so he felt a personal connection to…

is very unique and interesting. Although there are many stereotypes about the Scottish culture, their food, clothing, behavior, the list could go on forever, but in all reality all scots are very different (Koranki). The Scottish culture consists of many old and less practiced traditions, but also some more modern traditions. The Scottish are most commonly known for their clothing style and their food and drink, but are also less commonly known for their rules of conduct and their behavior. The…

The bluebonnet has become a major symbol of Texas much like the state flag and the “Lone Star State” motto. There is an official bluebonnet tartan, song, city (Ennis, Texas), festival (Chappell Hill Bluebonnet Festival), and trail (located in Ennis, Texas). “The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry…

One of the laws that were passed after the Jacobite Rebellion was a ban of tartan or plaid. This law is in the Act of Proscription of 1746 and is known as the Dress Act of 1746.
