From its origins as a vital cottage industry to its decline during the Industrial Revolution and subsequent revival, handloom weaving has shaped Scottish identity and craftsmanship. Weaving is an ancient craft, with evidence suggesting its use as early as the Paleolithic Era. The Romans are believed to have introduced the handloom to Britain.

It was a common practice for families to weave at home, often with fathers teaching sons the trade.
