More information on Tartan Weaving Mill

This is one of the better and more interesting traditional crafts showcases available. Once inside the Weaver's Cottage, you can try your hand at weaving Scotland's national textile. The exhibition tells the story of the cloth from sheep to kilt and you can see the powerful working mill in action. Learn about the history of this emblematic Scottish textile and its oldest example, the Falkirk Tartan that dates from 250AD. Afterwards, there is the chance to get kilted-up in the colourful Tartan Shop. Admission: adult £4; concessions £3; children £2; family ticket £8.
