Greyfriars Tartan
Exclusive and hand-crafted in Edinburgh
Greyfriars Tartan – tradition with an ethical thread
Our award-winning Greyfriars Tartan is a high-quality, traditional tartan, made from 100% wool and woven locally in Scotland.
The Greyfriars Tartan weaves together the legends and stories of Edinburgh’s ancient and historic Greyfriars Kirk and Grassmarket.
This beautiful fabric is inspired by the original 16th century Grey Friar monks, Mary Queen of Scots and, of course, Greyfriar’s Bobby dog himself. It is also inspired by us, the award-winning Grassmarket Community Project!
The ethical choice
Choosing Greyfriars Tartan is also the ethical choice, with every penny made helping support the essential work of the Grassmarket Community Project.
We’re worldwide
We regularly ship outwith Scotland and fulfil bulk orders on request for a wide range of customers, including Edinburgh Castle, Visit Scotland, Scottish Government and, of course, Greyfriars Kirk.
AND, we take commissions for truly bespoke hand-crafted tartan items from clothing accessories, gifts and souvenir items to a fine tartan coat for your furry best friend!
Our tartan sashes, and Greyfriars Bobby dogs have been given as diplomatic gifts by Scotland’s First Minister in South Africa and South Korea. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales is also the proud owner of one of our hand-crafted Greyfriars Tartan roses.
