Edinburgh Woollen Mill: Quality Scottish Heritage Clothing
EWM, short for Edinburgh Woollen Mill, sells practical clothing for men & women. Core products in their range include knitwear, cashmere items, golf clothing, tweed jackets, and various clothing accessories, many of which have a traditional Scottish flair. Their products come from a selection of well-known and established brands such as Aran Traditions, James Pringle, and Hector Russell, as well as their own branded items and many more. The company has stores spread across the UK. However, if you take into account the companies they also own, such as tourist-related merchandise shops, the business has numerous trading establishments.
EWM runs over 200 retail stores in the UK, ranging from High Street stores to garden Centre concessions, Tourist stores, and larger-format Destination Stores. They have a significant presence in major cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, and York. For instance, Edinburgh hosts multiple EWM stores, including High Street, Princes Street, and Lawnmarket locations.
EWM opening times are typically from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with Sunday hours often reduced to 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Hours can vary by location, especially during New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day, and bank holidays.

The company branding and logo make it much easier to spot a store on a high street or shopping precinct. They combine white and red to stand out, and their logo bears these colours, too. The logo is simply the company name written in white font on a red background. Next to the name is a small image of a mill.
The company may have become a well-known store; you might, however, not know all the interesting facts about the business. These facts include:
- They have been operating for over 70 years.
- The company was previously owned by British businessman Philip Day.
- Edinburgh Woollen Mill bought Peacocks in 2012.
- They once had a part-share in Carlisle Football Club after loaning them money.
- The first store opened in England was in Carlisle.
Edinburgh Woollen Mill is known for supplying quality garments branded and marketed as having a very “Scottish” heritage. These items are stocked to cater to adults, children, and even young babies. As the name suggests, many items are perfect for spring, autumn, and winter wardrobes—focused mainly on woollen garments, although they sell articles in other materials. Customers can choose from various cashmere, wool, cotton, and Aran products, such as jumpers, hats, gloves, and scarves. Yet, they also stock items not explicitly intended for cooler weather, such as everyday and office attire, and more casual clothing, such as jeans and nightwear. They even offer Scottish heritage items such as kilts. Customers can also pick up items to dress their home outside their clothing line, including rugs, blankets, and throws. All products are available for purchase in-store or online.
Edinburgh Woollen Mill started under a different name in 1946. Drew Stevenson formed his Langholm Dyeing and Finishing Company, which offered a wool dyeing service. Drew’s son, David, went on to open a store in Edinburgh 24 years after the company’s formation. Two years later, when venturing south of the border, David opened the first English-based store in Carlisle (where they also loaned the football club money, owning a part-share). The company was bought by an equity group called EWM, led by Philip Day. The EWM group continued to buy several established businesses, and Edinburgh Woollen Mill remains part of a successful and fruitful network.
