STA USA members do a fantastic job in the States, promoting tartan and all things Scottish. These dedicated and extremely knowledgeable volunteers travel many thousands of miles to some of America’s major Scottish Gatherings and dispense all kinds of advice on what tartan people can wear, Highland dress, how to research family origins and where to go in Scotland. They are our eyes, ears and tartan tongues in the U.S. and deserve all the support you can give them.

Scottish Tartans Authority USA

TECA/IATS has now fully integrated with the Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and will continue its excellent work with the same dedicated experts and enthusiasts. As before, the US branch of the STA consists of the core Guild of Scholars and the general membership who support them in their dedication to conducting meaningful research, recording information for posterity and educating its members and the general public with the accumulated knowledge of tartanology. STA USA serves as a repository for those who seek such information and like the parent STA is a non-profit organisation with a policy of  providing information without fee or charge.

Our scope naturally extends to the use and application of tartan and thus also to the kilt and other garments which comprise the Scottish national dress. The Scholars and members support each other in their desire to preserve the tartans and their traditions. We are proud that the world's foremost authorities, both in the U.S. and abroad, are members of the Guild of Scholars.
