Our holiday this year in the north included Scarborough, Ravenstonedale and Campbeltown, with our destination being the Isle of Mull. I had not been to Scotland for 27 years and the experience then was damp and cold with unexciting food.
This year it could not have been more different - warm and clear weather, not a drop of rain and exceptionally good food. We found the Isle of Mull Weavers in Ardalanish where we spent a couple of hours being given a tour of the looms and detailed explnations of the processes involved in designing a fabric, setting up the warp threads and the weaving itself. The looms are Victorian, beautiful works of engineering. These are some of the photographs taken, with permission of the weavers:
