Water From The Lochs

Nothing is more important to tanning than water. No water could be as pure and soft as the Highland water piped from Loch Katrine that we use at every stage. The same qualities that make Scotch Whisky and Scottish tweeds unique gives our leather its renowned mellowness.

As long as people care for comfort, natural looks and long lasting quality, leather will always be a supreme covering because it naturally breathes, it stays warm in cold weather and cool in hot; and because it absorbs moisture, it does not become sticky or clammy. Like wood, it is one of the few materials that grows more beautiful with use, acquiring a natural patina. It lends itself to modern design because it moulds obediently and colours brilliantly, the dyestuffs becoming part of the fibre. Manufacturers appreciate the resilience of leather - easy to work with but hard to tear. Consumers appreciate how easy it is to look after and live with. Leather deserves its prestige - nothing else approaches it!
