A chapter from David Bremner's 'The Industries of Scotland' (1869) on the history and condition of the Scottish linen and jute trades. It covers early acts of Parliament on linen, the Board of Trustees for Manufactures, the British Linen Company, and the stamping of linen cloth. It traces regional development in Forfarshire, Fifeshire, Perthshire and the north, with sections on Dunfermline damask table linen and Dundee's linen and jute factories. It describes the processes of flax and jute preparation, spinning, weaving and bleaching, and includes statistical tables of production, imports and factory numbers.
