Welcome to Red Ruairidh Kilts. My kilts, plaids and all others products are wholly made in Edinburgh, and throughout Scotland. The cloth is made in Scotland and one mill in UK due to certain tartans only being woven by this mill.
Red ruairidh kilts - where the traditional hand sewn kilts are custom made to your exact size and specification.
I market gents kilts, ladies kilts and full highland dress outfits for both. I market garb wear 16 th /17 th centry dress, kids kilts, and can sell you tartan by the meter or yard. I only use the best craftsmen and women in Scotland, from the tailoring of the kilts, to the beautiful hand crafted sporrans to the pewter sgian dubhs, kilt pins, cap badges and much much more. My company only sells authentic Scottish goods that are made in Scotland. Please support Scotland by buying authentic Scottish goods. My aim is to provide the customer with the highest quality material and the best Scotland has to offer at the most affordable price possible.

About myself and the company
I know the kilt /highland dress industry well, and have been in and around it for most of my adult life.
My specialisms lie in kilts, twirled plaids, pipers' plaids, drummers' plaids, ladies waistcoats and various other areas. I take pride in the fact that l am scottish and would like to add to the authentic traditional list of Scottish websites that care about quality where the kilts and Scottish goods are made and the history behind our culture.
The tartan on show at the top of the page is the "Ruairidh" tartan, designed by me. There is an option for you to design your own "tartan.

Frequently asked questions
Before purchasing kilts, I am often asked these three questions:
If you do, I will be able to find it for you. If you do not, you can choose from thousands of tartans. Please see the "Find your family tartan" link below for more information.
2. How long does it take for a kilt to be made?
If the cloth is in-stock at the mill, it can be made in 2-3 weeks. If it is out-of-stock, it may be that it is a "special weave" or rare tartan, which take from 3 to 6 months to be woven to order. If this is the case, I will discuss this with you, and suggest alternatives if this is impractical.
3. How much does it cost for a gents/ladies kilt/full outfit?
Please see the relevant pages - such as Gents outfits or Ladies outfits.
