White Heather Highland Supplies has a proud and enduring history within Australia’s Celtic community, dating back to 1967 when the business was founded by the renowned piper Graham Adams. Together with his wife Maureen, Graham built a reputation for exceptional quality, authenticity, and service. For more than four decades, they dedicated themselves to supporting pipers, Highland dancers, clans, and Celtic enthusiasts across Australia, establishing White Heather as a trusted name in Highland dress, Scottish regalia, bagpipes, kilts, tartan, and traditional Highland accessories.
In 2008, the business entered a new chapter when Celtic Stationery acquired White Heather Highland Supplies. Under the stewardship of Colleen and Ian McEwan, the company continued to flourish. Deeply involved in Scottish cultural events, Highland Games, pipe bands, and Celtic organisations, Colleen and Ian carried forward the same commitment to quality and community that had defined the business from the beginning. For many years they travelled extensively to Highland Gatherings, Celtic festivals, and Scottish heritage events across Australia, bringing White Heather’s range of authentic Highland dress, bagpipes and accessories, sporrans, sgian dubhs, and Scottish gifts directly to the heart of Australia’s vibrant Scottish community. In 2021 they retired from the travelling circuit while continuing to serve customers through their retail shop and online store.
In 2025, the next generation of custodians stepped forward when the business was proudly taken on by Celtic Thunder. Known for their dedication to quality and service within the Celtic heritage and Highland wear industry, the Ellington family—Ray, Lyn, Rachael, Jay, Allana, Kayleigh, William, Declan, and Reghan—are honoured to continue the legacy that began nearly six decades ago.
Today, White Heather Highland Supplies remains committed to providing authentic Highland dress in Australia, including kilts, tartan products, bagpipes and accessories, Scottish regalia, pipe band supplies, Highland dance accessories, and Celtic gifts. With a deep respect for tradition and a passion for Scottish culture and Celtic heritage, we proudly support pipe bands, Highland dancers, Scottish clans, and Celtic communities and enthusiasts across Australia.
With nearly 60 years of heritage behind us, we look forward to carrying this proud tradition into the future while continuing to provide quality Highland wear, bagpipes, and Scottish accessories in Australia to the community that has supported us for generations.
