Kitty garmints

Kitty Garments is a gallery dedicated to textile art and design tucked away in East Lothian, just outside Musselburgh. It's the kind of place that rewards a bit of curiosity - the work on display tends to be thoughtfully curated rather than vast, which means you're not walking around for hours feeling overwhelmed.

The gallery focuses on garments as art objects rather than fashion in the commercial sense. You'll see pieces that blur the line between wearable craft and installation work. Some visitors find it genuinely moving; others might feel it's a bit niche. That depends entirely on how you feel about textile art as a medium.

It's worth allowing an hour, though if the collection is small on your visit, you'll be done in 30 minutes. Families with younger kids might find it a touch quiet and contemplative for their needs - it's not an interactive space. But for textile enthusiasts, jewellery makers, or anyone interested in how materials and craft sit at the intersection of art and function, it's worth the trip from Musselburgh.

If you're staying at Drummohr Camping & Glamping Site nearby, this makes an easy rainy-day outing without needing to travel far. Pair it with exploring the coast at Musselburgh itself, which has proper charm and decent fish and chips on the seafront.
