Late Summer.

Standing proud in the thick heather blanketing Scotland's hillside, we find The Ghillie.

What would appear to be a solitary life, is in fact one of a deep, enduring companionship with the land they care for. The hills, burns, lochs, glens and even the kilt he wears is constant while the seasons change around him.

Throughout the tale of The Ghillie, we will celebrate our connection to our homeland and our kinship captured in tartan come rain or shine, year in, year out.

Edinburgh. That backdrop to so much of Scotland's incredible history.

On this day in 1822, King George IV officially landed on Scottish soil in Leith, Edinburgh. He was the first ruling monarch to do so since the Scottish coronation of King Charles II in 1651. This marked a moment that is remembered to this day - Scotland re-joined the British fold after decades of Jacobite Risings and consequential punishment in the form of proscription. But, the Highland culture is resilient and in the 19th century, grew to commercial heights it had never enjoyed before while being celebrated and appreciated around the world.

The Lost Tartan.

This August we celebrate The Lost Tartan, the final chapter of The Genesis of Tartan.

The Lost Tartan was re-created from study of a fragment originally woven by Wilson's of Bannockburn, the mill that gave us many of the tartans we still cherish to this day. They paved the way for mills like us to carry on the tartan mantel.

August marks the anniversary of the visit of George IV to Edinburgh in 1822. Sir Walter Scott was instrumental in the itinerary of the visit, creating a pageant remembered to this day. This monumental event celebrated the very best of Scottish culture and helped in creating an appetite for tartan the world simply hadn't seen before - Wilson's business boomed during the period.

There is something timeless about a Highland Games day.⁠
⁠
The sound of the pipes, the swing of the kilt, the gathering of family, friends and community - all woven together in a shared sense of belonging.⁠
⁠
Across generations, the Games remind us that tartan is more than cloth. It is kinship, memory and pride, worn with honour.

Strength. Skill. Tradition.

For centuries, the Highland Games have been woven into the fabric of Scottish life. What began as gatherings where clans tested their strength, speed and endurance evolved into celebrations of community, culture and Highland identity.

Today, the Games remain one of Scotland's most treasured traditions. From the caber toss and hammer throw to the stirring sound of pipe bands and Highland dancing, they continue to bring together competitors and spectators from around the world.

No Highland Games would be complete without the kilt. Woven in distinctive tartans that tell stories of family, place and heritage, Highland dress has become an enduring symbol of Scotland's identity - connecting generations through craftsmanship and tradition.

We are proud to continue that legacy, weaving tartans that honour the past while being worn by the generations shaping Scotland's future.

Our story began in 1783, when wool from the Macnaughton family flock was spun into yarn in Highland Perthshire. What started with a handful of sheep and generations of skill has grown into one of Scotland's longest-standing textile legacies.

These archive photographs capture just a few moments in that journey, from beautifully illustrated catalogues of the late 1800s, to the mighty steam-powered machinery of the early twentieth century, to the craftspeople whose dedication kept the looms turning through the decades.

Every generation has embraced change while honouring the traditions that came before. In 2023, a new family took the helm, continuing that same commitment to Scottish craftsmanship, innovation and the people whose expertise has shaped our mills for over 240 years.

The faces may change. The machinery may evolve. But our purpose remains the same: to preserve Scotland's textile heritage while continually weaving its future.

Here's to the generations who built it, and those who will carry it forward.

Scottish summertime has a beauty all of its own - soft light over the glens, hills washed in green, and the quiet magic of long days in the Perthshire landscape.
