One top kilt rental firm has stated that Scotland could run out of kilts this summer with many suppliers already closing their books due to record demand.Due to the pandemic causing two years' worth of weddings to be postponed, this year, along with the newly planned ceremonies, is set to be a bumper year for marriages.

And according to A1 Kilt Hire, the iconic Scottish ceremonial dress is now in short supply meaning the unthinkable could happen; Scotland may actually run out of kilts.

David Dalrymple of A1 Kilt Hire said: “We have never seen such a high level of demand for kilt hire."The pandemic has created a record number of wedding bookings for the summer; some people have been waiting since early 2020 to tie the knot, there are also those people who cancelled in 2021 plus couples who had always planned to get married in 2022 all trying to secure a kilt for their big day."Everyone needs one at the same time and although we’ve managed to accommodate all requests so far, others have already reached their capacity for the whole summer."An iconic piece of Scotland’s heritage, tradition dictates that the groom and groomsmen pair their kilt with traditional eveningwear, complete with jacket, waistcoat, shirt and bow tie.This means that rental firms are struggling to keep up with the increased demand.With shops in Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow plus an online ordering service, A1 Kilt Hire, David added they have a large stock of rental kilts meaning attend their big day in their Birthday Suit just yet.He joked: “We can’t confirm the rumour there’s been a steep increase in the number of nudist weddings now being planned but we are doing all we can so no-one has to go naked to their nuptials if they don’t want to!” Don't miss
