The Lion, Eagle & Unicorn
Three icons. One town. Generations of craftsmanship.
For over 150 years, Hawick has been home to Scotland's most iconic heritage brands. Pringle of Scotland with their lion. Lyle & Scott with their golden eagle.
Now, Born of Alba continues the tradition.
THE HAWICK FLAG
Hawick's town flag carries two colours: gold and blue.
In 1874, Lyle & Scott claimed the gold with their iconic golden eagle - a symbol that would become known worldwide.
150 years later, Born of Alba claims the blue.
THE BLUE UNICORN
Scotland's national animal, embroidered in blue.
The blue holds dual meaning:
First, it honours the Saltire - Scotland's flag, flown for over 500 years. The official blue of Scottish pride.
Second, it honours Hawick. Our town's flag is gold and blue. Lyle & Scott took the gold. We take the blue.
Two colours. Two icons. One town.
Now, a third icon joins them.
BORN OF ALBA
Contemporary Scottish heritage for a new generation.
We honour Hawick's 200-year textile tradition while looking forward. Premium quality apparel, made to order, featuring Scotland's unicorn embroidered in the blue of both our national flag and our hometown.
Our vision: to bring manufacturing back to Hawick, continuing the legacy of quality craftsmanship that made this town famous.
The lion. The eagle. The unicorn.
Three icons. One town. Generations of craftsmanship.
