Kilt Hire for the Scottish Borders from our Duns Showroom

Many of our Scottish Borders customers will know of David Thomson's Men's Outfitters, based in Jedburgh, and their kilt hire service that has provided kilt outfits for weddings, parties, school dances, local festivals and family gatherings for decades.

 

David Thomson's business is coming to a close, but the kilt hire business has become part of ScotlandShop, operating from our head office and showroom on Station Road in Duns.  If you need to book a kilt hire for 2026, please email [email protected], pop into the showroom, book an appointment or call 01890 860770

Coming Soon - Kilt Hire in the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation Tartan

ScotlandShop are the designers and weavers of the official My Name'5 Doddie Foundation tartan.  From Monday July 13, 2026 (pre-order available now), you will be able to hire 8 yard heavyweight kilts in Doddie's tartan and even better, 10% of your hire goes direct to the Foundation to support research into treatments and ultimately a cure for Motor Neurone Disease.

 

Heavyweight 8 yard kilts in Doddie's tartan have never been woven before, so demand is likely to be considerable.  Please do book your appointment as soon as possible if you would like to hire one of these kilts.

Kilt Hire | Frequently Asked Questions

Your most frequently asked questions on our kilt hire are below. If you can't find the answer to your question then please use LiveChat, e-mail or give us a call and we will answer your questions as quickly as we can.

How do I make an appointment to be measured for my kilt outfit?
How long will my kilt hire last?

    Our standard hire period is 4 days e.g. if you collect your outfit on a Friday morning, it would need to be returned to us before close of business (6pm) on the following Monday.  You are welcome to extend your hire for an additional £25 per day.  

    Shorter hires are charged at our standard 4 day rate.

How much does ScotlandShop kilt hire cost?

    Our base price for a 4 day hire of a kilt outfit is £125.00.  You can also hire kilt only, trews and children's kilts and outfits. Outfits will need to be picked up and returned from our Showroom and HQ on Station Road in Duns. 

    Hire of a Sash in Granite City tartan (to match the Granite City kilts) is £25.00 for four days and includes a choice of brooch to secure the sash.

    The TD postcode discount cannot be used against kilt hire and is applicable to purchases only.

What tartans do you have?

    Our stock changes all the time depending on what is on hire but available tartans include:

    • Flower of Scotland
    • Black Watch Modern
    • Douglas Modern
    • Spirit of Scotland
    • Granite City
    • Scottish Thistle
    • Jethart
    • Isle of Skye
    • Braveheart
What's included in my kilt hire?

    Kilt, kilt pin, jacket and waistcoat, bow tie or tie, belt and buckle (on request), sporran, flashes, Sgian Dubh, socks and kilt shoes. Socks are provided new and are not returned at the end of the hire.  A shirt can be provided if required for an additional charge.  Shirts are also non returnable.

Do you have matching children's outfits?

    Yes!  We would love to provide a matching outfit for even the very smallest member of your party.

    Available tartans:

    • Flower of Scotland
    • Black Watch Modern
    • Douglas Modern
    • Spirit of Scotland
    • Granite City
    • Scottish Thistle
Can I rent tartan trews?

    Yes! Our range is smaller but trews are available.  Trews are available in Granite City, Scottish Thistle, Spirit of Scotland, Black Watch, Douglas Modern, Braveheart and Jethart tartans.  Hire just the trews or make a complete outfit with jacket shoes and tie, the choice is yours!

Do I have to hire a complete outfit?

    No.  We can rent kilts, jackets or trews as individual pieces provided we have sufficient stock.

Can I buy items to add to my hire outfit?

    Yes.  We have a wonderful range of tartan accessories you can purchase to add even more interest and originality to your outfit.  Customers with a TD postcode will get a 10% discount off all purchases.

    Many items are available from stock but please do check availability in good time for your event.

Do I need to be measured?

    We would strongly advise that you are measured so that we can provide a kilt outfit with the best possible fit.  If you do not want to be measured, you must accept full responsibility for the fit of your outfit.  We will always try to swop any items that do not fit, but this cannot be guaranteed if we have not measured you.

If I have hired from David Thomson, do I need to be remeasured?

    No.  If you are happy that none of your measurements have changed, we can use the measurements we have.  If you're unsure, it is always better to be remeasured and this does not affect the price of your hire.

Do you have any matching tartan for women?

    Yes.  New to the hire range are our tartan sashes in Granite City, made with the same tartan as we use for the Granite City kilts.  Hire is £25.00 for a four day hire, including a choice of brooch to secure the sash.

Tartan Sashes for Women

Match your partner's kilt outfit with a sash in Granite City, Isle of Skye, Douglas Modern or Flower of Scotland tartans, made in Scotland from tartan woven in Scotland.

 

Following customer requests, our hire range now includes sashes to match four of our most popular hire tartans, made with the same tartan as our hire kilts.  Hire is for the same four day period as kilt and trew hire and includes your choice from two different brooches.

Our Showroom

If you would just like to view tartan fabrics, interiors or clothing and do not require our measuring or tailoring service there is no need to make an appointment. Please just pop in and our knowledgeable, friendly team will be happy to help.

While we have as many fabric samples and garments in the showroom as possible, it is always helpful if you can add a note if you are looking for a particular tartan or product so we can be fully prepared for your visit. If you have any questions or need an appointment out with the times offered please send us an email.
