Waulking (in Gaelic luadh) is the technique of finishing the newly-woven tweed by soaking it and thumping it rhythmically to shrink and soften it - all done by hand in the old days. The songs served to keep the rhythm and lighten the work.

The Scotswoman Who Started The War That Killed A King! There's a statue of a stool in Edinburgh's St Giles that started a war that would kill a King. In 1637, King Charles I wanted Scotland to follow the Anglican faith, where he could be in charge just like in England.

See you soon ☀️
