NICOLSON
KILT HIRE
Argyle Semi Dress, Hebridean
Granite or a classic Prince
Charlie? Choosing your tartan
can be a confusing affair. That’s
where Nicolson Kilt Hire steps
in, providing kilt and Highland
wear for the everyday man in a
muddle. The cherished Royal Mile
store – now complemented by a
dedicated hire department on St
Mary’s Street – has been crafting
and hiring kilts for over 30 years,
so it would be fair to say the staff
know what tartan to choose and
when to wear it. Gordon Nicolson
and his experienced staff can
advise on all facets of Highland
wear and accessories, ensuring
that you look the part whether it’s a
wedding or graduation ball. It’s not
just about choosing the right tartan
either – you’ll also want to pick the
right accessories to suit your kilt,
including a decorative Sgian Dubh
to tuck into your sock. There’s also
a wide range of sporrans available,
complete with split tassels and
different skin fronts, while the day-
wear sporrans come in a variety
of leathers and colours. If you’re
a little dubious about donning a
tartan kilt, why not try some tartan
trousers instead? The trews are
made to measure and can be
twinned with a matching waistcoat.
The store sells more than just
kilts though; you can acquire the
complete outfit, including Highland
jackets, sporrans, ties and more.
An afternoon trying on kilts at
Nicolson Kilt Hire is enjoyable,
relaxing, and who knows – you
might even learn a little more about
your family tartan in the process.
