I'd also recommend checking out other social media, like Instagram -- I know of at least one knitter who posts regularly there who recently did a Scotland knitting trip and has probably posted some good local yarn manufacturers/shops -- @squidneyknits, full name is Sydney Crabaugh.

Dear all,
I'm writing on behalf of a graduate of Maryland Institute College of Art, who wrote to me recently

I will be travelling to Scotland next year to learn more about knitting.  I am searching for a book that would assist me in finding knitting/yarn centers in Scotland.  I found one company on the Isle of Lewis but am not able to get additional locations.  There are so many yarn centers in Scotland so there must be publications about them.  I would really very much appreciate your guidance.  There is no hurry but I know there will be a lot of research involved until I can finalize my trip.

In turn I am writing to you to see if you have any suggestions on how to discover knitting centers in Scotland. If anyone has information to share, or other contacts who would be knowledgeable about this, I would greatly appreciate it.

The information does not need to be in book form, just current -- thank you in advance for all contributions to this quest!

Kathy Cowan
