Flodden Kilt

GNK kilts are distinctive for the careful shaping that goes into every pleat to create an unrivalled fit. The proof is in the hang and the swing. The magic comes from the passion for heritage and craftsmanship in every stitch. 

Flodden Made-to-Measure Kilt

Flodden Commemorative tartan manifests a thread of historical remembrance, integral to the City of Edinburgh and woven into the Border Common Ridings. Designed by Gordon Nicolson in 2013 to mark the 500th anniversary of the momentous Battle of Flodden. 

On that day, 5,000 English and 10,000 Scots lost their lives, with unavoidable consequences for both nations. The colours entwined within Flodden's tartan symbolically unite the two opposing sides of such a devastating battle, which saw James IVth become the last Scottish monarch to fall in combat. The Tudor green & white of the English Army are bound inextricably to the deep red & gold of the Scottish forces, set against the grey & brown of the ground they fought on, where many lie still.

Flodden Commemorative Tartan is woven in Selkirk in the Scottish Borders by Lochcarron of Scotland.
