Mitchell Kilt Hire were also Kilt Makers, Sporran Makers, and Belt Makers, as well as once having Kilt Hire and Bagpipe & Accessories sales. We do servicing and repair work to kilts, sporrans, belts & straps, and highland dress accessories. We produce our own kilt pins, buckles for waist belts and kilt straps, buttons for jackets and various thistle badges and other findings for attaching to sporrans to enhance their appearance.

Kilt Hire is able to provide short, medium and in some cases long
term gear hire for pipers. NO MORE, but there might be some old
gear of use still around for purchase. (ask)
who are starting their solo piping career but still lack all or
some of the necessary highland dress. Once distinctive sporrans were made on request. (ask) there just might be some still around; Also belts, buckles and inexpensive ghillie brogue conversion options (ask). The above was the first MKH Showroom Now long gone. Solo
piping attire. ROSS
NOT now
in stock.
An important aspect of bags is the blowpipe length for you AND angle,
so that if you open your mouth, the blowpipe should just sit where it should
and doesn't flick out of reach. There is No need for a "broken leg"
blowpipe with a ROSS BAG and no need for a mouthpiece that is too
long or too short. Have your pipes properly set up for you and play with comfort. Benefits. Pipe
tuning consistency Long reed
life Hygienic Ease of
maintenance Bagpipe Tutor book and tune collection.
Dunbar P1 Henderson pattern bagpipes
for short term and long term hire.
OK we tried this. Folk thought them too plain, true they were but it was
a precaution. Bagpipes go missing, folk might not take care of them and
so on. Bagpipes are costly and insurance under such circumstances quite
prohibitive. In the end we canned the idea, even though they had good sound.
It was better to provide a piper with the necessary skills.
Even for folk wanting to learn to play, they didn't initially realise you first had to
start on a practice chanter and if they were going to persevere, then the time
it takes to learn properly is adequate time for them to save up for a set of
their own. At the stage a learner is ready to move onto a set of bagpipes
they would have saved sufficient to buy their first set.

other accessories, including Ghillie Brogue modification
to normal brogued shoes. Spare laces, tassels.
