tartantown
Tartantown Ltd. was originally started as a convenient location for Highland dancers to buy their dance shoes “made in Scotland”. As a teacher of Highland dancing, Heather Jolley wanted her students to have the same shoes as the Scottish dancers and she started to import them in 1976. Up to that point all Canadian dancers wore dance “slippers” made in Canada! From these humble beginnings in Heather’s basement the store grew to its first walk-in location at 500 Clarke Road, Coquitlam, BC. By this time, more items were in the inventory including tartan from DC Dalgliesh, dance shoes from other suppliers and a full-time dressmaker was employed.

claymore imports
Michael McClanathan’s Scottish heritage is an integral part of his identity. This Celtic tradition was passed along to his son Wheaton McClanathan who now manages Claymore Imports full time. Although they currently reside in northern Scottsdale, their history can easily be traced to the Western Isles of Scotland. From Scotland, the McClanathans made their way to Canada and eventually to the United States where they spread the Celtic tradition to the Great Lakes State of Michigan.
