Scotland’s Wool Crisis and the Call for Change

from Edinburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scotland’s wool industry—grown on hillsides, woven into tartans, and knit into timeless gear—is facing collapse without urgent government action. Farmers struggle to find markets, skilled workers vanish, and overseas-made kilts flood tourist shops. But this isn’t just heritage at stake—it’s jobs, rural economies, and sustainability. A grassroots push is demanding a National Wool Strategy to unite agriculture, culture, and climate goals, turning wool into a climate-smart powerhouse for Scotland’s future. A letter to the First Minister is now calling for this vital plan—before it’s too late. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
