Our Story
We converted our garage next to our home in the ‘Old Croft House ‘ 9 Scarista to be a loomshed housing 2 Hattersley mark 1 looms, with one available for training or making special non Harris Tweeds
This was after we had built up our self catering business close by at Borvemor with a variety of buildings ranging from traditionally built Black house with stone and thatch to converting farm steadings and reinstating the 18th century original Borvemor house. These are now run by our family of daughter and three sons as individual owners under the title Borvemor Cottages
We were married here in Scarista in the sixties but lived in Edinburgh until we returned permanently in the nineties and athough Margaret became head teacher here Scott gave up his Chartered Structural Engineering consultancy to become a full time crofter and eventually a licenced Harris Tweed Weaver .
