Traditional handmade kiltmaking. Rooted in the past. Engineered for the future. Pleated to perfection.
Mrs Gordon Nicolson (you can call her ‘Louise’) is the creative force behind colourful GNK’s sister brand -LoullyMakes. From the comfort of the family homestead in Dunbar, she uses glorious traditional fabrics to create consistently beautiful and surprisingly useful things. Combining the finest tartans and tweeds with gorgeous Liberty fabrics and sumptuous velvets, her selection of goodies brightens up our Canongate shop - and keeps many a female partner busy whilst the lads get measured for their kilts.
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.
We were joined by the team at the Gentleman's Journal to find out all things Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers, check out the article that captures the spirt of GNK Family.
