Description

Tweed is one of Scotland’s great gifts to the world. Woven into every strand of this most authentic and rugged of cloths is an extraordinary heritage of innovation and creativity.


The Art of Tweed explores the landscapes, textures and patterns of this glorious fabric. From the rolling hills of Scotland’s country estates to the rhythmic clatter of looms in our last-surviving mills. From artisan weavers on the Isle of Harris to the high fashion of international catwalks and urban designers reimagining tweed for the streets.


Here is a story of romance, nostalgia, sustainability and style – of an effortlessly versatile cloth and its unique place in our lives. Whether fashioned into a flat cap or tailored into a cape, the story of tweed is a story to be shared.
