Be a Friend of this historic treasure

Early in 2011, Scotweb rescued this unique mill from closure. Why? Had it been lost, 95% of tartans would never again have been woven, and ancient skills lost forever.

So tartan lovers worldwide can again obtain any plaid of their choice. And we intend to preserve the traditional production methods that make D.C. Dalgliesh fabrics so unique.

But we need your help! Above all we need to raise awareness of this unique international treasure. The easiest way to do your bit is to add a link on your own web site or blog.
