Linking The Past, Present & Future

Respecting the rhythms of tradition while embracing the dynamism of change is a core part of the College’s ethos. We aim to sustain the craft of master kilt tailoring so that future generations can continue to appreciate the cultural significance of these wonderful garments. This work goes beyond simply creating or preserving objects – it speaks to the importance of the Kilt as an integral part of Scotland’s cultural heritage and future.

Progression through our course teaches students unique skills and fosters a deep appreciation of the traditional Scottish craft of kilt-making that stretches back centuries to the master kilt tailors of the Highland Regiments. Utilising technological advances, immersive experiences, digitization, and simulation we can bring the nuances of traditional methods into a digital age.

Through their work and their interactions with domestic and international audiences, our students showcase one of Scotland’s richest and most symbolic creative arts. In doing so they provide a link between our cultural past, present, and future.
