Scottish tweed

Wool from Edinburgh

Scottish tweed is a type of woolen fabric traditionally woven in Scotland, known for its durability, texture, and earthy color patterns.

The cloth is associated with rural pursuits and country dress—hunting jackets, caps, and outerwear.

Harris Tweed, from the Outer Hebrides, is the most famous variety and carries legal protection for its origin and production methods.
