Welcome to the Kaleidoscope Company. We produce high quality handmade kaleidoscopes from our workshop based in Fife. The Kaleidoscope Company is a family run business, and it is the only Company in the UK that specialise in the manufacture of Kaleidoscopes.

The Kaleidoscope was invented in Scotland in 1816 by Sir David Brewster, who was knighted in 1832 and eventually became the Principal of The University of St Andrews. Brewster's invention was named after the Greek words ?a??? (beautiful), e?d?? (a form), and s??pe? (to see). In its 194 year history, the Kaleidoscope has continued to amaze both young and old. The principals behind the Kaleidoscope are simple - light reflects colour in a symmetrical pattern using mirrors to create unique patterns that are rarely repeated.
