We're so proud to spotlight one of our most recent kilt commissions!

This kilt was designed by Atlas for his wedding this year, including colours from the pride flag with special highlights for the trans flag. We were so excited to take on this special project, its always such an honour to be part of someone's big day.

From Atlas: "I came to Radical Weavers with an idea for a tartan I wanted to wear on my wedding day, and I'm so glad I did - the finished kilt and fly plaid are beyond my wildest dreams! The team's expertise and skill took my draft idea and elevated it to perfection. They are so inclusive, welcoming, patient, and I loved how excited they were about creating this kilt for me.

Shout out also to Claire at A Wee Favour who finished it up so beautifully. She even added a lining with panels of each of the colours, which is such a cool detail. I got so many compliments on the day and I'm delighted to have a piece that I will treasure and wear for many, many years to come. Absolutely worth every penny. Thank you Radical Weavers!"

Our brand new exhibition is now open Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 5pm (last admission 4pm) and there's lots to see!

Delve into the rarely told story of weavers Baird and Hardie and the people that stood with them. When famine, desperation and injustice gripped Scotland, ordinary people chose to fight back. History remembers 1820 as a failed uprising. The truth is far more powerful. Two young men paid with their lives for daring to challenge the ruling classes, helping pave the way for democracy and changing history forever.

It began in Stirling.

We are proud to announce that our exhibition – Stirling 1820: The Baird & Hardie Story – is open!

Two hundred years ago the people decided they had suffered long enough and bravely spoke truth to power to make their lives better. Democracy was urgently needed in Britain. And the journey towards it began in Stirling in 1820.

How far would you have gone to feed your starving people?

Discover the truth about the Baird and Hardie Story and find out about the story they never wanted you to know about.
