    Scottish noble knit since 1881

    James C. McGeorge was a visionary who turned his tiny knitting factory in Dumfries into a stately large enterprise in 1881, in which women were employed for the first time. Today, located in a monastery steeped in history, knitting is done on partly historical machines.

The knitwear, carefully made from the best materials, is unmatched in quality."
