Tartan Cracker Sets

Tartan Cracker SetsChristmas is a season of gathering, sharing, and celebrating the traditions that bind us together. At Kinloch Anderson, these traditions are woven into every thread of our Christmas tartan table collections, the same tartans that have graced the Kinloch Anderson family table for over six generations. From beautifully crafted tartan table runners to elegant napkins and thoughtful sustainable crackers, each piece carries the warmth of Scottish heritage and the quiet luxury of time-honoured craftsmanship.

Join us as we explore how these festive accents can bring beauty, joy, and a touch of sparkle to your Christmas table this year.

A Table Dressed in Tradition

There is something undeniably magical about a Christmas table adorned in tartan. Its warmth, its colour, its quiet confidence—all evoke a sense of belonging and celebration. At Kinloch Anderson, this feeling is deeply cherished. For over six generations, the family has gathered around their own festive table, each Christmas marked by rituals of togetherness, gentle laughter, and the enduring charm of Scottish tradition.

Every piece created by Kinloch Anderson carries that legacy. It is a legacy woven quite literally into the very fabric of the company, where craftsmanship, authenticity, and heritage converge to create objects of lasting beauty.


The Luxury of Tartan Table Runners

Tartan Table Runner

A tartan table runner transforms a festive setting into something truly special. Whether draped along a rustic wooden table or layered over crisp white linen, the

 beauty of tartan introduces depth, colour, and quiet sophistication. Kinloch Anderson runners, designed with knowledge passed down through generations, marry rich texture with iconic

 patterning to create an atmosphere of effortless luxury.

During the Anderson family Christmas gatherings, tartan cloths have long been central to the celebration—symbols of continuity, comfort, and unmistakable Scottish heritage. Today’s runners echo those early traditions, crafted to bring the same warmth into homes around the world.


Napkins That Tell a Story

Tartan napkins may seem a small detail, yet their presence can elevate your festive table from lovely to unforgettable. They add softness, refinement, and beautiful cohesion. Folded simply or gathered with a natural sprig of holly or pine, they invite guests to pause and appreciate the artistry before them.

Each Kinloch Anderson napkin holds the subtle complexity of Scottish weaving traditions—patterns with centuries of history, colours inspired by landscape and clan, and craftsmanship that honours the past while embracing the present.


Tartan Crackers

Sustainable Christmas Cracker Sets: Joy With Purpose

In recent years, as the world turns toward more considered celebrations, Kinloch Anderson’s sustainable tartan cracker sets have emerged as a perfect blend of festive fun and environmental responsibility. Designed to be reused year after year, they capture the joyful spirit of Christmas while reducing waste.

Wrapped in beautiful tartan, these crackers become keepsakes—treasured parts of family tradition. The Anderson family themselves delight in filling them anew each year, weaving sustainability into their seasonal rituals just as thoughtfully as they weave their tartans.

They add not only sparkle, but meaning.
