The rich history of the Borders textile mills is captured in a vast archive of photos gathered from generous contributors all over the region.
Long-vanished mill buildings, Dobcross looms, Cotton’s knitwear frames... just some of the memories you can revisit on our user-friendly touchscreens.
Unusual machine exhibits include an 18th century hand stocking frame, a ‘muckle wheel’ for spinning yarn, and a Jamalite garment checker.
