Every tartan begins with thousands of small, precise movements.

Within our weaving mill, countless intricate parts work together in perfect rhythm, each thread, mechanism and detail playing its role in creating something far greater than the sum of its parts.

A reminder that exceptional Scottish tartan is built on craftsmanship, precision and generations of weaving expertise.

Decades ago, The House of Edgar introduced a softer, more understated interpretation of tartan through the creation of our muted tartan palette.

Inspired by the jewel toned shades historically associated with traditional tartans, these colourways offer a refined alternative to brighter ancient or deeper modern palettes, balancing heritage authenticity with contemporary taste.

Today, muted tartans remain some of the most versatile and enduring designs in Scottish textiles. Rich moss greens, softened blues, aged browns and heathered neutrals create a timeless aesthetic that feels equally at home in traditional Highland dress, interiors and modern tailoring.

A meeting point between Scotland’s past and present, our muted tartans continue to celebrate heritage through a more subtle and sophisticated lens.

Behind every tartan is a remarkable number of hands, skills and generations of knowledge.

From preparing the yarn and warping the loom, to weaving, mending, washing, pressing and finishing, every stage of tartan production relies on craftsmanship, care and attention to detail.

Tartan is not simply made by machines. It is shaped by people. By decades of experience, traditional techniques and a shared pride in Scottish weaving.

Every metre woven carries the work of many hands, each playing a part in bringing Scotland’s heritage to life through cloth.

It is this human craftsmanship, dedication and passion that makes authentic Scottish tartan so special.

Beltane Blaze ~ Seventeen Eighty Three

The sky glows red on the night of Beltane, as ancient fire rituals burn away the old. Out of the fire comes a new day, a welcome summer and restored hope for a prosperous season ahead.

Beltane Blaze captures this ancient ritual. The shades of red work together to represent the dancing flames and festival revellers. The combinations of accompanying colours reflect the land we hope will prosper in the summer months ahead.

From the Archives ~ Threads of our Past.

Pictured here are Marion, Alan and Gideon captured in 1912.
This is the inspection and darning department of the Macnaughton Mill when located in Pitlochry.

Today, we still inspect and darn our cloth by hand.
We still have inspection tables, although today, we refer to this as QC - Quality Control.

Although the technology we use as advanced immensely since 1912, much of the processes and premises behind the technology remain deeply rooted in the tried and tested techniques of the past.

Celebrated on the 1st of May, Beltane is one of the oldest seasonal festivals in the Gaelic calendar, marking the arrival of summer.

For generations, communities across Scotland welcomed the season by lighting great bonfires on hilltops. These fires symbolised warmth, protection and renewal as the darker months gave way to longer days.

Livestock were traditionally driven through the smoke of the Beltane fires as they moved to their summer grazing lands, a ritual believed to bring protection and good fortune for the months ahead.

Homes and fields were often decorated with fresh greenery and flowering branches, reflecting the themes of growth and new life that defined the season.

Though centuries have passed, Beltane remains a powerful reminder of Scotland’s deep connection to landscape, season and tradition.

For centuries, the arrival of Beltane on the 1st of May marked the beginning of summer across Scotland’s Gaelic communities.

Hilltop fires were lit across the landscape to welcome the light and warmth of the coming season. The flames of Beltane were believed to offer protection and blessing as livestock were driven to their summer grazing lands.

Drawing inspiration from this ancient festival, the Beltane Blaze Tartan captures the warmth and vibrancy of the Beltane fires.

Part of our Seventeen Eighty Three collection, the design reflects the stories, landscapes and traditions that continue to shape Scotland’s textile heritage.

A celebration of fire, season and Scottish tradition.
