Hebrides News

An exclusive design of Harris Tweed has been launched to celebrate the return of the Royal National Mòd to the Western Isles. 

The Mòd starts on Friday and runs for over a week.

An Comunn Gaidhealach commissioned Harris Tweed Hebrides which runs the Shawbost mill for the new tweed.

The design team, led by Ken Kennedy, incorporated the colours of An Comunn's crest, blended with the Hebridean summer landscape and seascape, to form a striking tartan pattern which will feature in an extensive range of accessories, as well as adorning Mòd stages.

Margaret Ann Macleod, brand development director of Harris Tweed Hebrides, said: "The link between Gaelic culture and Harris Tweed is exceptionally strong, so it is natural to have the Clo Mor represented at a celebration of the language, particularly when it is being held in our own community.

"The vibrant colours will reflect the spirit of the Mòd".
