About Fencing in Hawick
Hawick in the Scottish Borders sits in the valley of the River Teviot and has a recorded history stretching back to at least the 12th century, but it was the arrival of the stocking frame in 1771, introduced by James Hardie, that set the town on its path to becoming a centre of the textile industry. By 1791 the town had 12 frames employing 65 workers, and by the start of the 19th century around 3,000 people in Hawick worked in textiles. A string of manufacturers built their reputations here over the following two centuries, including Pringle of Scotland, established in 1815 and credited with helping define Scottish knitwear as a luxury product, alongside names such as Lyle and Scott and Hawick Cashmere. The label Made in Hawick became a byword for quality cashmere and tweed around the world, and the town remains closely associated with fine knitwear to this day.
