Johnstons of Elgin

Johnstons of Elgin can trace its history back to 1797 when Alexander Johnston first took a lease on a woollen factory at Newmill in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Over two hundred years later, the mill of Johnstons of Elgin is still on the same site and is the UK s last remaining vertically integrated woollen mill - the only mill still to carry out all the processes from the receipt of raw materials to finished product at a single location. 

Johnstons of Elgin was not immune from this competition pressure and in 2006 it saw its profits fall from 2.2 million to 336,000.
