Welcome Travel Partners to Prickly Thistle – 

the home of rewilding tartan , from the only mill on the mainland Scottish Highland region.

Our story started in 2018, where our journey began from building a mill from a blank canvas. This soon progressed and before we knew it, we had started to design clothing for celebrities, global luxury brands and appeared on several TV shows.

We have designed tartans for - Sam Heughan from Outlander; Fendi; Cabot International Golf; Tomatin Distillery, Inverness Castle and The Witches of Scotland to name a few. However most our community near and far who have supported us on this journey are at the core of our business and we weave stunning tartans for our 'clan'. Which you will see available in our store 

We did pop up shops from Chelsea to Kyle and back again. Fast forwarding quite an adventure, our fantastic flagship store - Rebel Row opened in 2024 in the heart of the Highland capital, Inverness, This quickly became a hub for all things creative, fun and fascinating, for both locals and visitors.

And although we’re naturally a humble bunch, we have to tell you: when people visit, they’re forever telling us how much they love the whole experience. We’re fun, knowledgeable, and we genuinely get to know you— tailoring your time with us to the unique person you are.

Rather than keeping our skills and stories under our hats, we want to share the message, and the tartan! We invite you to come and learn more, and take part in a variety of experiences, developed through our journey together. 

In 2026, we have a BRAND NEW selection of bookable experiences for your clients. These include talks, weaving, designing your own tartan -  many are exclusive for trade.

We’re also wonderfully open to special requests. If your clients are looking for exclusivity, bespoke add-ons, or a little something extra — from champagne welcomes to a taste of the highlands — we’ll always do our very best to say “yes”. Think of it as your wish becoming our next exciting challenge, and one we’ll take on with enthusiasm.

All enquires can also be emailed to Susan our dedicated travel partner rebel. She can be contacted via the email below.
