Learn the Craft of Kiltmaking
In the Heart of Edinburgh
Established in 2016, The Edinburgh Kiltmaker's Academy was founded to preserve and elevate the traditional craft of kiltmaking. Our mission is to set the standard for excellence, training the next generation of skilled kiltmakers to create kilts of the highest quality.
Kiltmaking Courses
"I am so glad I decided to sign up to the Edinburgh Kiltmaker’s Academy, my time on the course has been extremely informative and has set me up to be a confident kilt maker.
The combination of practical and theory work was brilliant... I cannot praise the kilt tutors on the course enough."
