Nestled in the heart of the old town of Inverness, a rebellious retail experience is writing a new chapter in tartan history; Rebel Row.
A play on the name of London’s top fashion street, Rebel Row’s team are on a mission to swim against the current of “fashion” that has dominated the last 100 years. With founder Clare Campbell of Scotland’s only working mill Prickly Thistle, you are invited to discover this new retail experience. History and craftsmanship are converging to create something truly remarkable.
Tartan, an emblem synonymous with Scotland, transcends mere fabric. It embodies the very essence of our nation’s identity.
Highland Dress, with its distinctive kilt crafted from tartan wool cloth, holds a storied past. Following the Battle of Culloden in the late 1700s, where the winds of change swept across the Highlands, Highland Dress faced a ban lasting nearly four decades. But adversity often breeds prosperity. And, it was likely during this tumultuous period that Highland Dress cemented its status as an enduring symbol of Scottish pride.
Prickly Thistle Tartan Mill
As the only tartan weaving mill in Scotland, Prickly Thistle represents more than just a manufacturer. It embodies a living connection to Scotland’s past, present, and future. Each intricately woven pattern tells a story. A testament to the resilience of a people who refuse to be bound by convention or constraint.
In the threads of each fabric from Rebel Row, one discovers not just a fabric. But a living tapestry of history, woven with the spirit of rebellion that defines the Scottish Highlands.
