Customer Reviews


Thank you very much for this wonderful moment.

Nathalie Paris, France 


With all our most sincere thanks for the unforgettable visit which will remain forever engraved in our minds and hearts.

Isabelle Paris, France


We would like to thank you for your hospitality and your friendly reception at Lochcarron during our holiday the beginning of September. For us it was a spontaneous and lovely visit at Lochcarran of Scotland. I am over the moon with my Lady Diana shawl. As for the tartan fabric we bought, a dear friend of ours made lovely pillows of it. It was a real treat that we were allowed to see the tartan fabrics in the stockroom and the wee tour in the weaving factory. If we want to buy tartan fabric we now know were to go to next time.

In November 2022 I visited your mill with my husband and I bought three Tartan fabrics.  I sew my own clothes (it is a hobby). I look forward to having the opportunity to come to visit again your mill.

I have received the kilt and flashes. Everything looks great and the fit is perfect. I am very pleased with everything and enjoyed the fitting experience and meeting you and your team!
