Join us at our very own Prickly Thistle Weaving Mill, Evanton Industrial Estate, Evanton for an exclusive tour of the only weaving mill in the mainland Highland region.
Step inside the Prickly Thistle Mill an eco-conscious weaving space designed with minimal waste and maximum impact.
Meet the makers, who will share stories of heritage, rebellion, and the deeper meaning behind tartan today.
See sustainability in action, from closed-loop production practices to local sourcing and regenerative thinking.
••Experience the artistry, as historic looms clatter to life in the hands of artisans keeping this ancient skill alive.
We will show you everything that goes into producing our tartan!
From yarn to finished tartan kilts, you will see all aspects of our mill in a tour that will not be forgotten.....

The ladies are just wonderful! They make very pretty clothes, from the very beginning, the mill story, they style you, they are very heartwarming! I would like to come back again and do the workshop at their mill.
Very pleasant people and place to stop.

Beautiful, Unique & So Well Made
I absolutely love my military-style wrap skirt/women’s kilt that I bought at Belladrum! It’s so unique, comfortable and looks fantastic.
I actually bought a Belladrum tartan skirt from Prickly Thistle 8 years ago, and I still have it and absolutely love wearing it. The quality really is fantastic!
Please make more women’s kilts and skirts like these — I’d definitely buy another one! Claire is also absolutely lovely and such a pleasure to meet. ❤️
Keep doing what you’re doing, Prickly Thistle! 🥰🏴
