Tartan

One of the first things that people tend to associate with Scotland is tartan. Although it’s a national treasure, many of us are unaware of the history behind tartan. With this in mind, we take a closer look into what it is, its origins, and its presence in today’s world.

Incorporating a tartan sash in your ladies’ highland dress outfit is a great way to show off your Scottish clan heritage and leaves you looking your best for that special event. If you are interested in how to style your sash traditionally or looking for inspiration for a more contemporary look, we have created this guide of some of the different ways you can wear your sash to fit your style.

Scotland’s rich cultural heritage is often celebrated through its traditional crafts and fabrics. One such craft is the art of weaving tartan, which holds a special place in the heart of the nation. At Lochcarron of Scotland we have been weaving tartan for generations, creating exquisite patterns and designs. Here, we explore the fascinating world of weaving the very unique King Charles III tartan created for His Majesty and the significance of this timeless tradition.

Although kilts are traditionally associated with Scotland, they are also long-established in Irish culture. Kilts are worn in Scotland and Ireland as a symbol of pride and a celebration of their Celtic heritage.

What gives a kilt its charm is the construction, using traditional techniques that have been handed down through the ages. The kilt, which is instantly recognisable all over the world, has become an important part of Scottish identity. Not only is it famous for its undeniable Scottishness, but also for the expert craftsmanship that goes into making one.
