Coming Soon!

A new, exciting experience. The heritage, the future of Scotland’s premier textile manufacturing region is presented within a beautifully-restored 16th Century Tower House. People, processes, products – from virgin wool to Vivienne Westwood. Border knitwear and tweeds have been adopted by the whole world – come and explore the unfinished story!

The Tom Scott Room displays paintings by this noted early 20th Century Scottish watercolourist with touchscreen access to the Museum’s collection of his work.
