Crafts to discover Scotland

The Harris Tweed & Knitwear exhibition "Clo Mor"(Big Garment in Gaelic) offers an interesting retrospective of the local tweed industry and its journey through time. Between photographs and edutainment spaces, the visit is suitable for all ages. Models present clothing of all types and all eras, showing how Harris Tweed was honoured on the world's catwalks. It is possible to attend weaving demonstrations.

Designed by William Adam in 1750, the House of Dun is an elegant Georgian-style country house set in the middle of a beautiful park of gardens and woods. This house is the architectural embodiment of the ideal of an 18th century laird. Nothing is left to chance. Everything is aesthetics, geometry, symmetry and classical art, down to the smallest detail, from the floors to the ceilings and all the ornamental and decorative elements. The kitchen was, for its time, ultra modern, which is what makes it so attractive today.

Quendale Mill is a 19th century watermill, beautifully restored to house an exhibition on its past activity and the way people worked here at the time, with many objects and tools on display. The estate goes back further back in time to the 16th century, but the mill first appeared in 1867. It used to grind the farmers' grain over a very wide surrounding area and, as such, was a very important place in the social life of the past. The site also has a shop selling local crafts and a café on site.
