Scott Macfarlane, sporran making

Scott Macfarlane, from the Scottish Highlands, served for 15 years in the Royal Air Force and the British Army. He seeks to train in the critically endangered craft of sporran making, complementing his wife’s kiltmaking business. Scott was awarded a training bursary in 2025, to fund training with leatherworker Nigel Armitage to get a well-rounded foundation in the craft.

Scott’s bursary was funded by the Army Benevolent Fund.
