A little behind-the-scenes from our latest photoshoot at the wonderful Melville Castle Hotel.

This shoot was all about exploring the versatility of highlandwear and how small changes can completely transform a look.

Highlandwear doesn’t have to wait in the wardrobe for a special occasion. We want to encourage you to wear those special pieces, style them, make them your own, and enjoy them more often!

We had such a brilliant day bringing this idea to life, and we’re looking forward to sharing the finished images with you very soon.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring the shoot together!

A tartan shawl is a beautiful way to add another layer to your bridal look.

Crafted in Scotland from 100% wool, our exclusive Highland Mist Tartan Shawl captures the misty tones of the Highlands in beautiful shades of deep purple, emerald and gold.

And perhaps best of all, it’s not something that needs to be packed away after the wedding. A piece to wear and enjoy for years to come, carrying a little reminder of your special day with you.

August in Scotland is wonderfully unpredictable. One day you’re wrapped up in a blanket to escape the wind, the next it’s spread across the grass for a golden hour picnic.

Made in Scotland from pure lambswool, our blankets are as practical as they are beautiful - ready for whatever the season brings.

This year, we were delighted to introduce Scottish Borderland Weathered to our hire collection.

Inspired by the River Tweed’s journey through the Scottish Borders, it's a beautifully subtle palette of blues, greens and gold. Perfect for those looking for something distinctive yet understated.
