Our Perth shop is situated in the beautiful hills about half an hours drive from Perth. A strange location for a shop you might say. However the stunning backdrop creates the perfect location. With hardy sheep grazing on the hill nearby it is easy to recognise how tough the Hebridean sheep have to be to survive the even harsher weather they must face to survive. Great rolls of Harris Tweed, made using their excellent wool, sit by the window ready to be cut into cushions, sold by the metre or sent away to be made into clothes, bags and luggage.
Out of the window you can gaze across the landscape and if you are lucky watch all sorts of wildlife, especially birds, including Red Kites, Buzzards and Partridge. Recent additions with Spring include Lapwings and Curlews, now we are just waiting for the Swallows. Here at Glenalmond Tweed we are just as passionate about where we work as we are about what we do.
We warmly invite visitors to come and visit us. You can enjoy the spectacular surroundings, learn more about Harris Tweed and view our extensive collection of Harris Tweed clothes, Harris Tweed bags, Harris Tweed luggage, cushions, knitwear and the most recent addition - hip flasks!
This month we took delivery of the new Harris Tweeds for our Autumn/Winter 14/15 collection. We are currently in the thick of choosing the perfect trimmings to compliment the subtle variety of colours in the tweed. Easier said than done - watch this space!
Nearby there is fantastic walking in the Sma Glen as well a chance to see red squirrels and dear along the way. We highly recommend the nearby town of Crieff to visitors as well as the wonderful Drummond Castle Gardens.
The Glenalmond Tweed Company Shop is open Monday to Saturday 10am until 4pm.Out with these times please phone us on 01738 880 322 to check we are available. Please click here for directions.
