About Us

Our Vision

Established in 2017 by master kilt tailor, Marion Foster, the College is dedicated to promoting and raising awareness of the beauty, craft, and artistry that is an essential part of a bespoke tailored kilt. The College is acutely aware that traditional tailoring of the kilt using centuries-old techniques, is now an endangered craft. The traditions, processes, methods, and nuances first pioneered by the Highland Regiment tailors in the 1700s, are at risk of being lost.

Traditional kiltmaker Marion Foster, the founder of the Askival of Strathearn Kilt College, near Perth is offering people around the world the chance to learn the art of kiltmaking from the comfort of their own home thanks to an innovative new online course.

The College’s vision is to create a community of individuals and organisations that will safeguard the traditions of the past, both for the present and the future.
