Weaver's Cottage

This restored historic 18th-century cottage near Glasgow vividly recreates the living and working conditions of a typical handloom weaver. See how a traditional tartan was made 200 years ago, completely by hand using original equipment in a unique setting.

You can also have a go at weaving on a modern equivalent and try your hand with a spinning wheel. All school ages are welcome. We will attempt to link into particular school needs.

The set programme for primary schools lasts approx 1 hr 15 mins, and costs £2 per child (with helpers free). We are keen to develop links with high schools for a variety of subjects including history, geography and art.
