Kilt Hire

Whether it is for a wedding or other formal occasion, or simply for a ceileidh or casual affair, we can provide a formal or informal outfit that will have you correctly dressed in a traditional Scottish kilt outfit and looking your very best.

We can also provide you with just the parts you need, if for example you already have your own kilt and/or other parts of a highland outfit.

If you are available to come into our shop for a fitting, we can aim to get the best possible fit with the available outfit components. Instructions on how to put on the individual items can be provided when you come in for a fitting,  when you pick up the outfit or parts, or both times.

The Casual Kilt Outfit Package

This more casual outfit has become very popular for casual outdoor weddings, as well as social events where a formal black-tie outfit is too formal. It is also popular as a dress alternative to change into after the formal part of a wedding for example has finished.

It consists of the following items: 

  • Kilt
  • Ghillie Shirt (black)
  • Black leather Sporran
  • Waist belt with buckle
  • Sgian dubh
  • Ghillie Brogues
  • Kilt hoses (socks, in black or cream)
  • Garter Flashes

This outfit when worn with a Black Watch kilt, a black ghillie shirt and black hose has become particularly popular as the dark colours give it a uniquely balanced, but casual look.
