Personalise your tartan watch strap
Every item we create is custom-made using authentic Scottish tartan, crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
1. Choose your Watch Size
Find your Apple Watch size printed on the back of your current device. This ensures your new tartan strap will fit perfectly - it's the watch case size, not your wrist measurement.
2. Choose your Buckle Colour
The buckle colour determines the metal finish of your strap's clasp and hardware, coordinating with your case colour to complete the look.
3. Add Leather Imprint
Make your leather strap uniquely yours with custom imprinting. Include your surname, initials, or clan name for a distinctive finishing touch that's unmistakably you.
We ship worldwide with free delivery on all UK orders.
Your Highland timepiece will arrive within 1-5 working days (UK), 3-9 days (Europe), or 5-21 days (Rest of World).
Custom Tartan Watches require 3-5 weeks for crafting with authentic Scottish mill tartans, plus an additional 2-3 days for engraving.
All orders come with full tracking and our 2-year Highland warranty.
Returns are accepted within 28 days with proof of purchase, though personalised and custom-made items cannot be returned due to their bespoke nature.

I just returned from my first trip to Edinburgh. I had been looking at MacKinnon watch straps before the trip, but after returning I knew I definitely wanted one. This the highest quality watch band I’ve seen for the Apple Watch. Pictures do not do it justice, it is a true work of art. If you’ve been thinking about getting one, stop thinking and buy it, you won’t regret it. I plan to buy more from MacKinnon in the future.
Love my Young tartan Apple Watchband! Very well made and it looks so elegant! The beautiful leather back makes the band nice and sturdy as well. Only have had it a day and loads of compliments already!
I just received my watch band, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the tartan design adds such a classy, unique touch to my Apple Watch. It snapped into place perfectly and feels great on the wrist. I did spend a little time fidgeting with the magnet on one of the sides, but once I got it, everything clicked into place securely. It’s honestly such a minor thing and didn’t take away from the experience at all. I’ve attached a photo I took after unboxing. Safe to say, I’ll be ordering another one soon!
I’m obsessed with the watch band. Mackinnon was super responsive whenever I had questions and truly ensured that the workmanship was amazing! Thank you I love it so much!
Ordered a tartan strap for my Apple Watch. Looks great and really helpful customer service answering all my questions. Would order again.
I loved my first tweed Apple Watch strap from MacKinnon watches with the great contrast of modern and traditional design. So I reached out to them for a custom pink color for Spring and Summer. They quickly sourced the tweed and offered further customization by engraving the leather on the inside of the strap with the number of the USS Nautilus, the submarine my father served on during its historic trip to the North Pole. That level of customer service and customization is to be applauded and has made me a loyal customer.
My husband ordered a custom apple watch strap for me and I'm thrilled with the quality, workmanship, and attention to detail. The inside leather is embossed with my surname. Overall, I'm quite pleased, it's a lovely gift. I love that Mackinnon Watches takes such good care packing their product as well.
The watch band is simply stunning! The tartan used is brilliantly colored and the leather backing is gorgeous and comfortable. They even imprinted the name of my family clan on the leather band. Every detail is so well thought out and put together. Thanks so much for such a lovely piece to add to my Mackinnon Watch collection!
I love my Tartan Apple Watch band from MacKinnon Watches. It coordinates very nicely with my ruana (long shawl) in the same Tartan that I bought on my recent trip to Scotland. The quality of the band is excellent. I highly recommend!!
Great quality, will be back to purchase another product.
Unique present. I ordered a custom apple strap for my girlfriend and she loved it. She wears it on her Apple watch every day.
A Scottish business that I fully support. I get so many compliments for my Apple Watch strap.
Lovely company, the best customer service. Matt and Belinda were both helpful when I tried to decide which tartan to order for my Apple strap. They responded with suggestions and guided me through the whole purchasing process. Will be back again.
This is my second purchase. I already have one of their tweed watches but this time I wanted a strap for my Apple watch. I went for the Isle of Skye tartan as I have seen it on social media and it looked so stunning.
The coolest Apple strap I ever owned
Scottish family owned business. What is not to love?!
From the design to the finish - Belinda and Matt gave a first-class service. I will definitely consider them for future gifting as well as presents for myself
Love love love my Apple strap! Could not be happier.
I bought this as a gift for my husband. He was surprised to receive a personalised apple strap! Said he had never seen anything like it. Well that is because MacKinnon Watches are the ones who invented it!! What a clever idea.
Thought these are really fairly priced for a custom item compared to Apple watch straps I have seen on other websites or apple directly.
Amazing customer service. MacKinnon Watches really cares about their customers.
Nice strap, already looking at purchasing another one.
Purchased an Apple strap for my father to wear on my wedding day. He will love it, can't wait to see his reaction.
