The Isle Mill
The Isle Mill originated in Dumfriesshire in 1783, but relocated to the Highland town of Keith in the 1980s, where it began diversifing from traditional tweeds and tartans to furnishing fabrics in natural fibre blends and pure new wool. In the surroundings of our spectacular local countryside it is nestles beside the same burn that feeds one of Scotland’s most famous distilleries.
Whilst the mill itself is not open to the general public, it is owned by the Macnaughton Group, whose headquarters in Perth hold mill sales once a month — a good source of end-of-roll and discontinued lines plus one-off sample runs, the source of the beautiful Cairngorm estate tweed I used in the SQA Kilt, as well as the melton wool used in The Kynoch Kilt.
