All you need to know about renting a Kilt in Glasgow

Scottish culture has had something of a renaissance in recent years. Whether its down to the love of TV shows such as “Outlander”, or just a general nostalgia and hunger to hang on to our precious Scottish heritage, one thing is for sure. The demand for “The Kilt” is back with a bang, there are no rules, just make sure you wear the kilt, rather than the kilt wears you….as all fashionistas would suggest!

The art of kiltmaking is something to be marvelled at, and often it has been passed from generation to generation. An interesting fact to note is that in 2021, kiltmaking by hand was a new addition to the ‘Endangered Crafts’ list compiled by the Heritage Craft Associations. The demand for kilts is suddenly starting to overtake the supply of handmade kilts.
