LOCAL BUSINESS
Main suppliers of the tartan used are based in Perth, Forfar, Selkirk and Galashiels and the straps on the kilts are sourced from C A Gammack, Aberlour, made from their finest leather, to last a lifetime. Customers can make their choice of tartan when they arrive to be measured. If they don’t already have a tartan in mind there are a selection of sample books available. They can have a tartan specially woven and even design their own tartan, choosing colours and pattern design to make a unique tartan to them.
