Twill to Tweed

Lovat Mill: 200 Years of Tweed 1826-2026

Tweed; it is an iconic brand with a global reputation, rooted in the land that inspired it. Tweed may be one of Scotland’s great gifts to the world, but it has never cut its ties with home.

This exhibition tells the story of Tweed from its inception in 1826 to the present day. 17 cloths have been curated to show how each played its part in this 200-year history.

Lovat Mill’s designers today ‘stand on the shoulders’ of those extraordinary innovators of the past. This heritage inspires our current generation to a lasting commitment for excellence in design, structure and colour as Tweed enters its third century.
