Discover the Magic of Tartan
While our shop might not be on Scotland’s most famous High Street in
Edinburgh, it certainly brings charm to the High Street in Eyemouth. Nestled in
our wee fishing town, the last outpost of the South East of Scotland; our shop
is brimming with the magic and character that rivals even the bustling streets
of Edinburgh.
A Collection of local treasures
At International Tartans, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of
gifts and products, many that aren’t featured on our website. We have carefully curated a selection of artisan goods and chattels from talented artists, creatives, makers, and small businesses throughout the South of Scotland. Every item in our store is authentic, handmade, ethical, and undeniably beautiful.
Immerse Yourself in the World of Tartan
Our shop is more than just a retail space—it's an experience. Our wee
gallery space offers you the opportunity to learn all about tartan. Dive into
the rich history of tartan through our informative displays, watch videos of
the weaving, making, and finishing processes, and explore our interactive
screen, which has captivated hundreds of visitors since our opening. It’s a rich resource of information on every tartan ever designed and registered.

One of the most frequent questions we get are, "What tartan am I allowed to wear?" How do I choose a tartan? How can I find my tartan?

We offer 10 district tartans, dozens of commemorative tartans, and over 75 nation-state tartans—hence the 'international' in our name. And if you’re looking for your own family tartan, we’re here to help you find it.
