Founded in 1797, Johnstons of Elgin is a storied Scottish manufacturer renowned for its mastery of cashmere and fine woollens. As Scotland's only remaining vertical weaving mill, the family-owned company oversees every step of production—from dyeing and spinning to weaving and finishing—at its historic mills in Elgin and Hawick. This integrated approach ensures exceptional quality control and upholds centuries of craftsmanship. The brand originally produced textiles like linen and tweed, famously pioneering Estate Tweeds for Scottish landowners in the 1840s and introducing cashmere to Britain in 1851.
