## Resource

Scotland’s wool industry—grown on hillsides, woven into tartans, and knit into timeless gear—is facing collapse without urgent government action. Farmers struggle to find markets, skilled workers vanish, and overseas-made kilts flood tourist shops. But this isn’t just heritage at stake—it’s jobs, rural economies, and sustainability. A grassroots push is demanding a National Wool Strategy to unite agriculture, culture, and climate goals, turning wool into a climate-smart powerhouse for Scotland’s future. A letter to the First Minister is now calling for this vital plan—before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
