Highland Home Industries
of Coplands, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow and at Edinburgh
1921 Highland Home Industries Limited, 111 George Street, Edinburgh, was registered, limited by guarantee and not having a share capital, to take over the association known as the Co-operative Council of Highland Home Industries, to encourage and foster, on practical rather than philanthropic lines, existing home industries in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Galloway, and other parts of Scotland as may benefit Highland workers, to provide for united action by all existing Highland Associations having aims of a similar nature, to raise the standard of workmanship, to encourage the use of Celtic art, it being recognised that arts and industries to be genuine must be national and be characteristic of the people who produce them, and to secure markets for the produce of home workers.[1]
