Fifteen years ago Hebridean sheep were a rare breed but now that the quality of the wool from their fleeces and the quality of their meat is once more being appreciated their numbers are increasing. We get the natural undyed fleeces of the Hebridean sheep made into wool and then knitted or woven into our range of country clothing. These include woollen jumpers, woollen sweaters, cardigans and pullovers suited to a wide range of activities. Our golfing sweaters and cardigans and shooting jumpers are particularly popular with good shower resistance due to the natural oils in the wool and hard wearing matching leather patches on elbows and shoulders of the sportsman sweater. Weaving is used to make scarves, picnic rugs and throws and our versatile serapes for winter and summer wear. Almost all of which is made in the Scottish borders town of Hawick, a town famous for its manufacture of Scottish woollens. The business began on North Uist but is now based on our farm in Glenshee, Perthshire and a small office south of London. We are a small family business which exists to promote the multi horned Hebridean sheep. No anorexic professional models for us, so when we decided that we needed to change the photographs our photographer Vicki Headspeath, wife of our Farm Manager, decided to arrange a barbeque and photoshoot! One interesting outcome from it was the enthusiasm with which the girls took to products which we had originally promoted for men.

Just before the start of the 15-lap final the heavens opened and all the cadets went out on a full wet set-up. After a poor start James was lucky to make up lost ground and lead the pack into the first corner. Over the next five laps James built up a commanding lead and showing maturity pegged the gap at a safe level. He drove the Hebridean Woolhouse and Highland Drovers sponsored Zip Storm to the chequered flag almost 20 seconds ahead of Cameron Anderson who had managed to save off a sustained attack from young Daniel Rae in the Zip Blade. James commented on the race that his kart had more grip in the wet than it had the previous day in the very hot conditions and that "finally Dad got the right set-up". |
