A PROJECT to promote Hawick has just launched an imaginative range of guided tours.
Famously Hawick wants to provide visitors with an experience of the town's rich manufacturing heritage.
And they hope the new all-year-round tours will demonstrate why Hawick gained an international reputation for producing high quality goods.
These new ‘experience packages’ are the latest development from the collaboration of premium producers in the town.
Successfully launched last year, Famously Hawick promotes The Borders Distillery, Hawico, Johnstons of Elgin, William Lockie and Lovat Mill as the Cashmere, Tweed and Whisky town.
But based on feedback, visitors didn't want to just buy the quality goods, they wanted to see where they came from and how they were made.
As a result, Famously Hawick tour packages have been created.
There are three different 'experience packages' available - An Introduction to Famously Hawick, which is an independently led tour, The Famously Hawick Experience, which is a fully guided tour including lunch, and the Famously Hawick Gold Standard, which is a fully bespoke tour.
The tours can be booked online at www.famouslyhawick.co.uk
