Traditional kiltmaking with room to choose

Choosing Highland wear is easier when you can see the options and talk them through properly. From the Main Street premises of R & I Macdonald Kilt Makers in West Calder, we guide you through hand sewn kilts, made-to-measure outfits, hire for gents and boys, wedding wear, pipe-band work, dancers' kilts, ladies' garments and the finishing details that pull everything together. If the outfit is for a graduation, a formal dinner or a family wedding, we help you settle on something that feels right rather than rushed.

From one outfit to lifelong kilt care

Some people need a hired outfit for one day. Others want a kilt or full Highland outfit that will be worn again for years. With R & I Macdonald Kilt Makers, you can compare both routes in one place, then return for alterations, cleaning and maintenance when the garment needs attention. We work with customers across West Calder and the central belt, support UK-wide enquiries and deliveries, and can point you towards the service and area pages that match your plans.
