At the Heart of Scotland’s Past
Woodland Tannery is a small, family-run traditional tannery, one of the last in Scotland still producing rawhide and bark-tanned leather by hand. Using only natural materials and time-honoured methods, we create sustainable leathers shaped by land, hand and heritage, drawing on Scotland’s long history of leather tanning and woodland management.
Unlike modern industrial tanneries, we rely on patience, skill and tradition rather than chemicals or shortcuts. Every stage of the process honours both material and animal, and each piece carries the story of its origin, shaped by hand into something both useful and enduring.
We produce a range of traditional leathers and hides, specialising in high-quality rawhide for drum making, buckskin, sheepskin rugs, bark-tanned leather and deer hide rugs. We also create bespoke commissions for leatherworkers, crafters, distilleries, museums, drum makers and smallholders.
