Our Tartans:
<style="padding-left: 40px;">Autumn Tartan
Earthy browns, muted greens, and soft yellows reflect fading bracken, moss-covered woodland, and the hidden glow of autumn chanterelles carried on cool Highland air.
Winter Tartan
Deep reds and warm golds echo the glow of winter fires and stored logs, set against evergreen notes of holly, ivy, and pine, with cool blues mirroring the steady flow of the River Tay.
Summer Tartan
Vivid blues inspired by the Northern Blue Damselfly sit alongside sunlit yellows, heather purples, and flashes of russet, capturing the colour, movement, and life of a Highland summer.
Scottish Heritage:
Nicholas is a specialist in Scottish and Gaelic Highlands history, educated at the University of Glasgow, with a deep understanding of Scotland’s heritage and traditions. He offers research, talks, and presentations exploring family connections to Scotland, ancestral origins, and the historic relationship between tartan and identity. If desired, a family’s genealogy and Scotland’s wider history can be thoughtfully woven into the hire experience, creating a personal and meaningful connection through cloth and story.
