About

GLEN ESK TRADITIONAL & CONTEMPORARY HIGHLAND WEAR

Market-leading highlandwear brand Glen Esk – owned by Ammo & Company since 2023 – produces unique designs using finest quality materials and traditional hand-finishing methods. For more than 30 years, Glen Esk has been a quality name in Scottish highland dress regalia, available in the UK and worldwide.

Through close relationships with established UK manufacturers, the comprehensive Glen Esk range includes highland dress kilt belts, sgian dubhs, buckles, waist plates, sporran chains, kilt pins, plaid brooches, police belts and ID wallets, and ceremonial and parade belts.

The Glen Esk brand was created in 1992 by GM Belt Supplies, a company supplying trouser belts, jeans belts and braces to independent menswear shops and department stores. In 1995, GM Belt Supplies became a customer of Dalman & Narborough, a Birmingham-based specialist in the manufacture of ceremonial equipment for the military and police forces. This distribution partnership opened up the supply of Glen Esk products to highlandwear shops in Scotland, starting with kilt belts. The brand has since become a market leader for highland dress across the world.

Dalman & Narborough was absorbed into Ammo & Company in 2012, with the company buying GM Belt Supplies in 2023. In doing so, Glen Esk became an Ammo & Company brand.

Unique appeal of Glen Esk

An established name in highlandwear, Glen Esk brings many benefits to customers. 

A significant number of its buckles are available in unique designs, made in the UK using the traditional method of stamping in solid brass. 

Glen Esk was the first highlandwear brand to introduce new finishes to the traditional chrome waist plates, which now include antique silver and polished brass finishes. Lead-free pewter buckles and kilt pins in unique designs also form part of the range.

Highlandwear customers can benefit from the brand’s many years of experience to offer a unique co-ordinated range of matching Glen Esk belts and waist plates, to include kilt pins and sgian dubhs.
