Thought the rabble might be interested to see some pics of the last true vestige of handwoven tweed on Harris. This is the famous Marion Campbell in 1983 when she was well into her 60s and still going strong.



Note the traditional ladies' Highland Dress wellies. Essential for so much of the year



Marion at her loom. She used to spin and dye her yarn, weave the cloth and then waulk (finish) it.


Drying tweed that's been waulked.

If anyone has some of her cloth treat it with the respect due an heirloom. We'll never see her like again.
