You don’t have to live in Scotland to celebrate Scottish heritage.
Many people in America have a connection to Scotland. Perhaps your grandparents were from Scotland, you’ve discovered Scottish heritage within your family tree, or you found yourself caught up in the Scottish spirit after meeting Scots during the World Cup. For others, Scotland is a place they once called home, or simply a culture they’ve grown to love.
Now, MacGregor and MacDuff, one of Scotland’s leading highlandwear brands, are bringing a little piece of the Scottish experience across the Atlantic.
This autumn, we are taking our expert staff, professionally trained in kilt fittings, to Boston, New York City and Richmond, giving customers in the USA the opportunity to be professionally fitted for a kilt, trews or a complete highlandwear outfit without having to travel to Scotland.
Celebrating Scottish Heritage
For decades, Scottish heritage has traveled further than the country’s borders. Today, millions of Americans take great pride in their Scottish ancestry, with family connections stretching back generations.
For some, wearing a kilt is a celebration of family heritage. It might be for a special wedding, family gathering or event. For others, it is a way to reconnect with their Scottish roots.
Choosing your tartan can make the experience even more personal. MacGregor and MacDuff offers a range of more than 4,000 tartans, so you may already know your family tartan, or you might be looking to discover one that has ties to your family.
And you might be wondering, “What if I don’t have any Scottish heritage? What tartan should I get?” That’s why we want to reassure you that there are plenty of universal tartan options that are not tied to any families or clans, including traditional and contemporary options.
From Scotland to America
MacGregor and MacDuff’s kilts are made in Scotland, and our fitting service is designed to give customers the same personal experience they would receive when visiting one of our stores.
Our USA tour gives customers the chance to meet our team in person, receive professional measurements and discuss exactly what they’re looking for. Whether that is the traditional kilt outfit or a more modern, stylish take on Scottish heritage, our team can help you find the right outfit for you.
The Tartan Army Has Arrived in America
Scotland’s connection with America has always been strong, but there has been a renewed interest in Scottish culture following the Tartan Army’s trip to the States for this summer’s World Cup.
For some Americans, seeing supporters arrive proudly wearing tartan and highlandwear may have been their first real introduction to the kilt. For others, it may have brought back memories of their own Scottish connections.
With its strong history of Scottish immigration, combined with the news of Glasgow and Boston becoming sister cities following the World Cup, Boston was a natural first stop on our USA tour for expert kilt fittings.
