NOT THE SHAWBOST MILL, DIFFERENT OWNERS, AS SOMEONE FROM HARRIS THIS MAKES ME QUITE SAD THAT FOLK ARE PICKING THINGS UP AND NOT HAVING THE TRUE STORY,
MR HAGGAS WHO BOUGHT THE MACKENZIE MILL IN STORNOWAY A FEW YEARS AGO SOLD OFF THE YARNS HE HAD IN STORE AND HE ALSO SOLD ALL THE HARRIS TWEED STOCK HE HAD TO CATHERINE CAMPBELL. AND WHAT A STOCK THERE WAS. IT IS MR HAGGAS WHO MADE 36 PEOPLE REDUNDANT. THE SHAWBOST MILL HAVE STARTED UP AT THE BEG OF THIS YEAR AND ARE FULFILLING THEIR ORDERS.
