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 of our products in 2007, 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. For 2008/09 we have again introduced new photographs, this time taken on Skye with 'models' from Skyeskyns our outlet there. Charles Kennedy opened Skyeskyns new showroom in September 2008. We strongly recommend a visit. For further information about us see www.borlandfold.co.uk Please feel free to make your order by telephone THE PHOTOSHOOT ON SKYE
