Any Recomandations of Kiltmakers In Scotland

House of Henderson in Stirling is very good as is House of Edgar.

Greetings to all, I am new to kilts.

I am looking to getting my first kilt. I was wandering if you had any advice on where to buy one. i am looking for a kilt maker in Scotland preferably around the Aberdeen area. I am willing to travel as far as Glasgow or Edinburgh.

I am looking for a hand tailored kilt and am willing to spend up to £1500

Thanks for your help

Alex Scott & Co. is in Aberdeen and can make very good kilts--- among the best. If traveling to Edinburgh, I used to be partial to Kinloch Anderson but I'm not quite sure about their current status--- albeit I'm sure that they can still deliver a first grade product--- but I think you may still be better if if you are in Aberdeen to keep to Alex Scott.

with out a shadow of doubt you will regret not going to Redshank Scotland at Inveraray, their 8 yard hand crafted traditional kilts are in my opinion the finest money can buy and are built to last 3 generations.
The Master kilt maker Mrs Ann Campbell was a nurse in a former career, and affords as much love, care and consideration to her kilt making as she used to her patients, and with over 3000 stitches in the pleats alone that is one heck of a lot of love and care.

How about Keith Scott in Dundee? They made my kilt and did a fantastic job. I couldn't ask for better service.

Hello from someone down in Glasgow.
(For the record, I met my wife while she was studying at Aberdeen Uni and I have very many fond memories of Aberdeen.)

For an Aberdeen kiltmaker I'd recommend Alex Scott & co. I've a few friends with kilts from that maker and they are wonderfully tailored.
With that amount of money you should be able to get yourself a kilt and a nice jacket and waistcoat, too.

Take care and good luck!

I've got kilts from Hector Russell and Celtic Craft Centre, both in Edinburgh, and bought an Argylle jacket from Clan Albanach in Queensferry. All seemed to be good stuff. I had the best experiences with Celtic Craft Centre and Clan Albanach. Obviously, I'm no local, but the service and quality were really good at both places.

I have to second the recommendations of Alex Scott of Aberdeen - they tailored my oldest kilt (Gunn a/c) in 1973 and it is still as good as new.

Similarly I would second Chris' recommendation of Redshank Scotland in Inverary where personal attention, and quality, are of the finest available.

Being the proud owner of 27 of their kilts, I have also to highly recommend Geoffrey (Tailor) of High Street, Edinburgh. Ask for John or Howie.

Take care,
Ham.

I have a kilt made by Stewart Rendall and can definately recommend him. It is Gunn Weathered 16oz and wearing it is amazing! Having seen my mother sew quilts by hand, I can tell you the hand stitching on my kilt is phenomenal. Stewart was great to work with and communicated with me frequently while he was making my kilt.

Cheers Archie!
Glad you're enjoying wearing it. It's always nice to hear back from a satisfied customer.
