Diploma from The Scottish Woolen Technical College - Galahiels.
George Elliot - Wool Manufacture, 1930
The school dates to 1883 offering classes in weaving, dyeing and chemistry which were introduced under direction of Thomas Welsh. In 1909 the School became the South of Scotland Central Technical College.
"A decision was made to approach the Scottish Education Department in order to change the status of the School to that of a central institution and in 1922 became the Scottish Woollen Technical College. A unique development was the opening of the Production Unit, a self contained woollen mill housed in one of the two Netherdale mills, installed with a wide range of machinery suitable for the training of cloth darners and menders, weavers and a whole range of other skilled workers." (History of The School of Textiles & Design. (n.d.). Retrieved October 05, 2017, from https://www.tex.hw.ac.uk/history-of-the-school-of-textiles-design/)
As of October 2017, it operated as the Heriot-Watt School of Textiles and Design.
