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!

I only bought a tote bag which was lovely. But amazing service and interesting passionate women that run the shop with many fascinating stories too tell! A must visit if you’re in Inverness.

Trendy Shetland Wool Top
I bought the cropped Shetland wool ‘tank top’ in red. I love it. I’m in my sixties and I think this top has a trendy edge. It was expensive which I justified because it is Scottish wool and Scottish made.
