Today it was time for the Saltire to depart to a new destination as she continues her travels in friendship. No visit to Hawick would have been complete however, without a visit to House of Cheviot / Hawick Sock Company.
Here the Saltire is seen in the sock factory with Robin Deas, proprietor, accompanied by engineer Steve Quintus.

Perhaps the Saltire will carry a cargo of hose to her next destination
Fare thee well, Saltire, and safe journey!
