AN Edinburgh-based kiltmakers has entered administration after 18 years.
Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers, established in 2009, appointed administrators on June 30.
Their base is on the capital's Royal Mile, with a second site opening in 2017 on St Mary's Street in Edinburgh.
The firm first created pieces for the University of Edinburgh’s tartan in 2007, and were also behind the design for the Scottish National Football Team and Celtic FC to celebrate their 130th anniversary.
It is unclear how many staff are affected.
Staff from the firm are trained at the Edinburgh Kiltmakers Academy which opened in 2016.
With 30 years experience in the highlandwear industry, Gordon and his wife Louise, wanted "to make quality and skills the priority of the business above all others" when they launched the business, according to a previous interview.
The pair previously said: "Tartans have been designed, woven and turned into beautiful products for both families and exceptionally high profile organisations alike – from Celtic FC and the Scotland National Team, to The University of Edinburgh and General Motors.
"Now, GNK is at the forefront of the highlandwear industry and is committed to training the next generation of kiltmakers in a bid to keep this iconic skill alive, through Edinburgh Kiltmakers Academy courses".
According to documents on Companies House, Andrew Ryder of JT Maxwell Limited was appointed as administrator at the end of last month,
Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers have been approached for comment.
