Ways to Work With Me
There are a few ways to work with me depending if you want to learn the craft yourself or have a bespoke kilt made with care. Both paths are rooted in the same values - patience, heritage, and thoughtful making.

Meet the maker
With over two decades of kilt-making experience, I specialise in creating and teaching kilts that are built to last, move beautifully, and honour tradition.
Whether a kilt is made by my hands or yours, I’m here to guide the process, share hard-earned knowledge, and deepen your understanding of this iconic garment.
I care deeply about getting it right, and I’ll always go the extra mile so you can experience the craftsmanship, problem-solving, and quiet magic behind a truly well-made kilt.
