Here it is stated that Mag nus and his men on their return from a marauding expedition to the west of Scotland "brought with them a great deal of the habits and fashions of cloth ing of these western parts. They went alsmt the streets with hare legs and had short kirtles and overeloaks, and there fore his men called him Magnus Rarc- fiMit or Rareleg." In the thirteenth century we seem to have something like a first referemt* to actual tartans in the statutes of the church of Als rdecn, which provide that “all ecclesiastics are to 1h» suitably ap- pareied, avoiding red, green and striped clothing, and their garments shall not be shorter than the middle of the leg.” But it should Ik* noticed that the word "tartar, ” which occurs in the fifteenth century, in the accounts of the lord high treasurer of Scotland, and which was re garded by Inith Borthwick and Pinker ton ns meaning tartan, really indi cates, as pointed out by Dr. Dickson, a | fabric of eastern origin, frequently “variant” or shot, thn warp and wtMif being of contrasting colors. We find, however, a true reference to tartan in the same accounts in the following cen tury, for In August, l.YfiS, there appears an entry for “iij. elnis of Helnnd tar- tanc to ho hoiss to the Kingis grace,” these “hoiss” or trews lieing evidently intended to 1h* worn with “ane schort Helnnd coit, ” aeeouiited for tinder tho same date.—Heottish Review.
