Our Story
Angela and Campbell Docherty founded the unique Scottish label, Royal & Plaid in 2014. From the rural village of Killearn, just north of Glasgow and a stone’s throw from the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, the couple share a passion for Scotland and its heritage, with tartan at its core. With over 125 years in the tailoring business in Scotland, generations of The Docherty family have gained invaluable experience and service providing garments of excellent craftsmanship and quality.
Royal & Plaid is the latest conception to this family’s long tailoring heritage and what better way to make a statement on the high street or to electrify a special event than to wear Royal & Plaid, a luxury collection of Scottish tartan fashionwear.
Angela and Campbell have made a commitment to ensure all their ranges are built to last, with flawless design, quality and fit, at remarkable value. The Docherty’s are delighted you’ve chosen Royal & Plaid and if there is anything that needs improving, they would love to hear from you. ’Like’ us on Facebook, or follow us on Instagram to stay up to date with the latest news and offerings.
