Our story began in 1783, when wool from the Macnaughton family flock was spun into yarn in Highland Perthshire. What started with a handful of sheep and generations of skill has grown into one of Scotland's longest-standing textile legacies.
These archive photographs capture just a few moments in that journey, from beautifully illustrated catalogues of the late 1800s, to the mighty steam-powered machinery of the early twentieth century, to the craftspeople whose dedication kept the looms turning through the decades.
Every generation has embraced change while honouring the traditions that came before. In 2023, a new family took the helm, continuing that same commitment to Scottish craftsmanship, innovation and the people whose expertise has shaped our mills for over 240 years.
The faces may change. The machinery may evolve. But our purpose remains the same: to preserve Scotland's textile heritage while continually weaving its future.
Here's to the generations who built it, and those who will carry it forward.
