Hilltown was the manufacturing suburb to medieval Dundee, known for its blue bonnets, firearms and buckles. Hand loom weaving took place
domestically and in factories, and some of these expanded to adopt power looms. Surviving buildings... Rashiewell Works, Dens Road...built in 1855 as a power loom weaving factory but after the merger into Jute Industries was
reassigned to winding. Now Dens Road Market, the rather hotch-potch buildings allow one to see a factory interior. Its tall circular- section chimney is one of few left.
