NEW FOR 2026!

This unique and fun half-day experience gives you the chance to design a tartan of your very own with Clare Campbell, the talented founder, owner and designer at Prickly Thistle. 

This could be a family experience or for a group of friends looking to do something that is a once in a life time tick!

You will learn the art of tartan design, create a bespoke pattern, and have it officially registered with The Scottish Register of Tartans, becoming part of Scotland’s national records.

Once the design is approved, you will receive an official certificate as a special keepsake.

If you would like to take things a step further and have your tartan woven into a bolt of cloth, we can arrange that too. Prices start from £85 per metre with a minimum order of 10 metres — though there’s absolutely no pressure to weave it right away.

Half-day workshop
Maximum of 4 people/one design each
Price £1400 for session (1-4 people)

We can work with you to choose the ideal location within approximately 30 miles of Inverness, whether that’s a hotel or a venue conveniently placed for your travels.
