Kilt Company Closes. A kilt company in the Scottish Borders is to close with the loss of 31 jobs.
The current economic downturn and a shortage in orders have been blamed for the move at Jedburgh Kiltmakers.
It is the latest in a string of job cuts to affect the knitwear and textile industry in the area. Last week, Hawick Knitwear said it was cutting 32 staff.
Tory MSP for the area, John Lamont, described the announcement as a "huge blow" for the town. Jedburgh councillor Len Wyse said it was devastating news.
