Rowanberry Mini with Pen Pocket Tartan Cloth Hardcover Notebook : Waverley Pocket Commonplace Notebook

The Rowanberry tartan is woven in Scotland. In Scotland the berries of the rowan tree are red whereas in Asia there are some species where the berries are a golden yellow. The Rowanberry Tartan mini notebook with pen celebrates Scotland's rowan tree that is famed for its hardiness and ability to survive in the mountains, and its long interesting history. In Scottish Gaelic it is called

rudha-an, meaning 'red one'.

This is one of Kinloch Anderson's house tartans and part of Waverley's Scottish Traditions range. This mini notebook has an elastic closure, ribbon marker, eight perforated end leaves, and an inner note holder, and an expandable inner note holder. The notebook also has a retractable pen. (Pen barrel colour may vary from that illustrated.) These notebooks are ideal for a pocket or bag, with 96 pages. The left hand side is blank, and the right hand side is lined.

Early weavers used local plants and natural products for their dyes so the locality of the weaver affected the colours of the local tartan. The genuine tartan cloth used for this notebook is supplied by and produced with the authority of Kinloch Anderson Scotland. Commonplace notebooks date back to the Scottish Enlightenment. Every thinker used a Commonplace notebook for ideas and knowledge. Adam Smith, Robert Burns, David Hume, and later, writers such as Sir Walter Scott, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Virginia Woolf used commonplace notebooks.
