We were delighted to welcome Lochcarron of Scotland, the world’s leading tartan manufacturer, to Thirlestane Castle for a photo shoot in Autumn last year.

From kilt to catwalk, Lochcarron champions traditional tartan fabric manufacturing while continuing to innovate, designing bespoke creations for major international fashion houses. Their cloth is dyed, warped, weaved, and tailored in Scotland by talented craftspeople. With a heritage dating back to 1892, they now have a collection of over 500 authentic Scottish tartans.

The Lochcarron team chose to showcase a selection of luxury homeware and clothing items throughout the Castle and grounds. The State Rooms, Castle’s forecourt, main stairs and autumnal woodlands all created a complimentary backdrop for their beautiful wares. Images for their autumn/winter campaign are the perfect inspiration for those looking for an authentic Scottish wedding or formal attire and more casual styling.

Guests who stay at Thirlestane Castle can discover more about Lochcarron of Scotland during their time in the Borders. You can find hundreds of beautiful tartans at their visitor centre in Selkirk, just 30 minutes from Thirlestane. Visitors can book a guided weaving mill tour, browse their shop, or arrange private fitting appointments from Monday to Friday each week. It is the perfect day trip from the Castle accommodation and a ‘must see’ for your itinerary.
