The victorian loom on which the tweed is made at the Islay Woolen Mill

"Meal is caith e!"
Enjoy and wear it

 

The Islay Woollen Mill was first established in 1883. Since its re-opening in 1981 by Gordon and Sheila Covell, the mill produces rugs, scarves, caps, tweed jackets and kilts as well as raw fabrics. Some of the machinery is unique and historical and much of it is still in use, the weaving taking place on two victorian looms.

Her Majesty The Queen has visited the mill fully appreciating the value of these timeless and traditional products.
