About Us
The ScotlandShop collection is inspired and influenced by the multitude of colour to be found in our Scottish tartans, steeped in history yet still a fundamental part of the fashion industry. Combining the talents of the many fabulous designers and manufacturers we work with across Scotland, we are spoilt for choice with all these beautiful fabrics woven on our doorstep. The business was founded on not only a love of fashion, fabric and Scottish culture but also a desire to contribute to the development of the local rural economy.
Our main base is in the beautiful Scottish Borders where we occupy two floors of a converted granary over 150 years old. We are just outside the town of Duns, home to the Jim Clark Rally. From our scenic location we strive to offer you the very best service and plenty of the friendly, helpful advice and assistance that Scotland is so famous for.
Founded in 2002 by Anna White, we have become a truly international organisation delivering all over the world on a daily basis and offering our products and service in 5 languages.
Our History

Our French website launched in 2005 and was an immediate hit
In 2008 we re-launched our French & German sites to bring them in line with our UK site
In 2009 European sales overtook US sales for the first time
Our premises were expanded onto 2 floors to house new staff and warehousing space
We launched our Italian website in 2009
A Spanish speaker joined our team in 2009 and the Spanish site went live in 2010
In September 2010 we re-launched all 5 of our websites based on extensive research with our existing customers and all of our experience to date.
