Scope and Content View of weavers' cottages at Carlops, Peeblesshire This is one of the rows of weavers' cottages built by the local laird, Robert Brown of Newhall, when he founded Carlops as a cotton-weaving community in 1784. The cottages are built from lime-mortared rubble, with sandstone dressings around the doors and windows. Though now slated, they may have originally been roofed with pantiles. Before the Industrial Revolution, and well into the 19th century, weaving was a cottage-industry. However, by the later 18th century, cotton was already being spun in large mills.
