Keeping the tradition of kilt making alive
At ScotClans we run The Kiltmakery – here we work with a group of kilt makers in Scotland who believe passionately in traditional kilt making where proper kilts are hand stitched.
We believe in keeping this skill alive for future generations through offering support and training.
The Kiltmakery is a place where we celebrate the craftsmanship and creativity of the traditional kilt maker and try and tell the full story. A kilt is rooted in the land of Scotland; it’s people and it’s ancestry, nothing beats a hand stitched kilt.
Take a look at our kilts:
