Edinburgh Castle range of tweed fashion launched

0 The collection ranges from scarves and tote bags to holdalls, throws, wallets and teddy bears more confident style-wise. We recognised that there is a growing demand for our Scottish heritage products from further afield, as many tourists like to take a piece of Scottish heritage home with them.

“We felt it was key to introduce a fashion line which would appeal to our expanding market, both at home and overseas.

“Our newly-created tweed range will be a huge hit this summer as it truly reflects Scotland’s rich heritage as we put a modern twist on some of our classics.”

The tweed, which is handcrafted by Scottish Knockando Woolmill, was created with inspiration from the castle’s surroundings.

The history and traditional skills of Knockando Woolmill match Historic Environment Scotland’s ethos, particularly in 2017, the Scottish Government’s Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology.

Ms Troitino added: “Our online site acts as a shop window to the world, showcasing our unique collections on a global scale to tap into those looking for a piece of Scottish heritage in a 21st-century style.”

The Historic Scotland online shop offers shipping to a number of international destinations including the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe.
