ScotlandShop is very honoured to be chosen as the online stockist for the fabulous Help for Heroes tartan. Launched at Edinburgh Castle on Friday 2nd March by The Help for Heroes charity the tartan was designed and manufactured by one of our local suppliers here in the Scottish Borders. The Help for Heroes tartan takes the recognised colours of the British Armed Forces including navy blue for the Royal Navy, the lighter blue of Royal Air Force and red for the Army. The result is a really striking tartan which works well for clothing and accessories as well as interiors products.

We will be offering ties, scarves, skirts, kilts and even a full tartan suit in the Help for Heroes tartan along with all sorts of interiors products. A percentage of every sale goes to the Help for Heroes Charity. The inspiration behind the tartan was two former soldiers pictured above at the Edinburgh Castle launch, George Neil from Glasgow, and Bill McGregor from Dundee, who both served with 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland before leaving the Army.
