Edinburgh Woollen Mill: Quality Scottish Heritage Clothing
Edinburgh Woollen Mill provides its customers with a range of practical clothing products for men, women, and children. Core products in their range include knitwear, cashmere items, golf clothing, tweed jackets, and a variety of clothing accessories, many of which have a traditional Scottish flair. Their products come from a selection of well-known and established brands such as Aran Traditions, James Pringle, Hector Russell, as well as their own branded items and many more. The company has stores spread across the UK. However, if you take into account the companies they also own, such as tourist-related merchandise shops, the business has numerous trading establishments.
Edinburgh Woollen Mill has stores in major UK towns and cities, which generally open at similar hours. Fittingly, Edinburgh has the most branches, whereas York and Glasgow also have a number of their establishments for local residents to shop at. The company branding and logo make it much easier to spot a store on a high street or in a shopping precinct. They combine white and red to stand out, and their logo bears these colours too. The logo is simply the company name written in white font on a red background. Next to the name is a small image of a mill.
Their opening times are typically between 9 am and 5:30 pm from Monday through to Saturday. On Sundays, many of their branches remain open—albeit with reduced business hours. On a Sunday, most locations will be open between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm. Edinburgh Woollen Mill opening times may change on New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day, and bank holidays, and stores may also close on these days. It is always best to check the specific branch before travelling to a store. You can check the opening times at a branch near you using our online store locator.

Edinburgh Woollen Mill is known for supplying quality garments, branded and marketed as having a very “Scottish” heritage. These items are stocked to cater to adults, children, and even young babies. As the name suggests, many items are perfect for spring, autumn, and winter wardrobes—focused mainly on the concept of woollen garments, although they sell articles in other materials. Customers can choose from a variety of cashmere, wool, cotton, and Aran products such as jumpers, hats, gloves, and scarves. Yet, they also stock items not specifically intended for cooler weather such as everyday clothing, office attire, and more casual clothing such as jeans and nightwear. They even offer Scottish-heritage items such as kilts. Outside of their line of clothing, customers can also pick up items to dress their home, including rugs, blankets, and throws. All products are available for purchase in-store or online.
Edinburgh Woollen Mill started under a different name in 1946. Drew Stevenson formed his Langholm Dyeing and Finishing Company, which offered a wool dyeing service. Drew’s son, David, went on to open a store in Edinburgh 24 years after the company’s formation. Two years later, when venturing south of the border, David opened the first English-based store in Carlisle (where they also loaned the football club money, owning a part-share). The company was then bought by an equity group called EWM, which was led by Philip Day. The EWM group continued to buy a number of established businesses, and Edinburgh Woollen Mill remains part of a successful and fruitful network.
