Real folk making the real thing
We’re artisans not inventors, human beings not gurus. There is love, pride and craftsmanship in everything we do. And we’re here to make you a beautiful kilt. Traditional handmade kiltmaking. Rooted in the past. Engineered for the future. Pleated to perfection.

From our family to yours...
Nestled into the shop floor of a seventeenth-century tenement on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, we have been trading handmade kilts and highlandwear since April 2009...
At the heart of it all, is a hardworking team - the GNK Family. A wee but mighty bunch of experts in the field of highlandwear and all that it entails. Your GNK experience will be a special one.
