'Tailored for Scotland' is a historic memoir story of Highland Dress and Scottish clothing told through 6 generations of Kinloch Anderson, Scotland, the family company renowned for tailoring and kiltmaking. For over 150 years they have succeeded in business, design and Scottish fashion, and played a key role in the story of tartan. They hold three Royal Warrants of Appointment.
Based in Edinburgh, and holders of Royal Warrants for Highland Dress, Kinloch Anderson won an export award for exporting 100,000 tartan skirts a year in the '70s and '80s. They were instrumental in setting up the Scottish Register of Tartans.
