Botann Boots

Nov 30

Bòtann is a new and innovative rubber footwear company that's based in Dumfries, Scotland.

Michael Nicholson decided to launch a mission to get wellies made in Scotland again. And Botann Boots was born.

Botann’s first rubber boot launched with a Kickstarter campaign in March 2019. This helped them to find their customer base.

Bòtann is committed to ethical and responsible practices and to creating sustainable jobs in Scotland. They are inspired by heritage, progressive design and doing things in the right way – for people and planet.

Micheal spoke at our sister business’ festival The Good Life Experience in 2019. Our co-founder Charlie has a pair of the boots and can vouch that they are a great piece of kit.
