The Strathmore Woollen Company
Strathmore Woollen Company is one of Scotland’s leading suppliers of premium tartan fabric. Our reputation is synonymous with first class quality & service.
We are a small family owned business, originally founded in 1949 as a joint venture between Don Brothers, Buist & Company of Forfar, and Ballantynes of Peebles. The then Sales Director David Cowley headed a management buyout in 1983, and further developed the Strathmore business over the next 35 years, developing the range to the 400+ tartans we have today, all in 100% wool. David remains a director today.
