The Tartan Mill



The Tartan Weaving Mill & free Exhibition, is situated in the Edinburgh Old Town Weaving Co. right next door to Edinburgh Castle Esplanade.
You can feel and touch the threads that are prepared for weaving, see and hear the amazing high speed powerlooms in action. At our weaver's cottage you can meet a real craftsman and then have a go at making some tartan cloth yourself - a great photo opportunity for your friends and family!
Take your time to enjoy the full exhibition which shows how tartan is woven, from the moment when the sheep is sheared right upto the making of a kilt and the history of Highland Dress Through the Ages.
