Why we love Weaver's Cottage

At this traditional Kilbarchan weaver’s cottage we’ll transport you back to a time when hand-woven textiles were the pride of Scotland’s weaving industry. Weaver’s Cottage authentically re-creates a typical handloom weaver’s living and working conditions. Low ceiling beams and period furniture help give insight into life before the Industrial Revolution. Today, the weavers specialise in making tartan on a 200-year-old loom. The property has an attractive garden, where traditional dye plants, including woad and madder, and a wide range of cottage garden plants are grown. https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/w...
