 * "Victorian(?)" isn't good enough. We have to know the original source, or we cannot be sure this is not a modern, copyrighted image. Judging from the typeface and even the style of art, I seriously doubt this image pre-dates the mid-20th century.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:28, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Peter E. MacDonald's "Musings on the Arisaid and other female dress"
This source: can be used for a whole lot of stuff. I'm busy overhauling the Tartan article, but hopefully will return to this page and WP:MINE that source. MacDonald is a subject-matter expert, author of The 1819 Key Pattern Book: One Hundred Original Tartans and the maintainer of the Scottish Tartans Authority database of tartans. Kind of the successor to James D. Scarlett when it comes to continued research into tartan and Highland dress. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  02:32, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Earasaid → Arisaid – Per WP:USEENGLISH and WP:COMMONNAME. I have read literally thousands of pages now about Highland dress, and virtually every writer in English uses arisaid (with that exact anglicised spelling); the Gaelic earasaid is only ever used when discussing etymology. The lead sentence will need to be rewritten to juggle the term order around. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:27, 27 June 2023 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.
