"Here is also a linen manufacture, but as that is in common with all parts of Scotland, I do not insist so much upon it here, though they make a very great quantity of it, and send it to the plantations also as a principal merchandise. (...) They have linens of most kinds, especially diapers and table-linen, damasks, and many other sorts not known in England, cheaper than England, because made at their own doors." -- Daniel Defoe, A Tour Thro' The Whole Island of Great Britain, 1724-6 See also Image The man on the right is looking at the plaque shown here: Image
