KILTR was a social networking site focusing on Scottish content. It was founded in 2009 by Brian Hughes and Stewart Fraser as a startup company using venture capital and investment from angel investors.[1][2]
The company was featured alongside Path and Foursquare in Rory Cellan-Jones's BBC Radio 4 series, The Secret History of Social Networking, as one of a number of smaller social networking sites which are offering an alternative to Facebook.[3]
KILTR was built in Glasgow, Scotland[4] by its sister technology company, CollectivWorks.[5]
On 5 June 2018 the site closed;[6] all registered users were sent an email explaining that the service had ceased and it was "all About Swipe to Connect " from CollectivWorks
