The Glenurquhart Check is one of the world’s most famous tweeds. Designed in the mid-19th century it now comes in a huge variety of related patterns, known as Glen Checks.

This October – to mark Wool Week, a celebration of all things woollen – we will design our special variation of this pattern, the Glendale Check.

But before we can start designing, we need your help.

We’re looking for your view of Glendale and its colours. Where are your favourite places in the glen? What are the distinctive colours of Glendale? Get your camera ready and show us.

Send us your pictures by the end of September 2016. We’ll compile a shortlist of our favourites. Voting for the winning picture starts at the beginning of Wool Week (10th October).

Win four Glendale Check cushions!

We’ll use the winning picture as inspiration for our Glendale Check tweed design. If your picture was chosen, you’ll receive a gift of four exclusive Glendale Check cushions.

Send your pictures to info@skyeweavers.co.uk

We look forward to seeing your views of Glendale!
