Galashiels is set to become the home of a new Scottish Centre of Textiles however plans for the centre are still in the early stages. First on the list is to create a Scottish National Archive, which would house both historic and contemporary designs.
The industry has been through a difficult period, with many of the traditional mills closing with the loss of hundreds of jobs.
The people behind the project have spent many years campaigning for the centre to be based in the Borders, worldwide known for producing high quality textiles.
