Franklin, North Carolina - Scottish Tartan Museum

Collection of tartan related items downstairs is quite good -- some actual items dating back to the 1700s. For those of us with Scotch-Irish heritage, it provides a view of our past.

The store upstairs has a wide variety of clan items; books; jewelry and will custom order if the particular item you want is not in stock. [Larry, 09/02/2008]

Franklin, North Carolina - Scottish Tartan Museum

The Scottish Tartan Museum was created as a place for the descendants of the Scots immigrants to the North Carolina region to learn about their heritage. The museum downstairs, while a bit cheesy, does give an informative history and evolution of the tartan and kilt. The store in the upstairs area has modern Scottish paraphernalia... And they will order your clan tartan for the asking. I usually try to make a stop here if I'm traveling through the area...As a lad of Scots heritage, it' muh dooty! [Kevin Liske, 03/22/2005]
