In 1891, Andrew MacDougall opened a small knitwear factory at Kirkfieldbank, beside the Clyde just outside Lanark. Legend has it his first workforce was five women, all called Mary. He had invented a power-driven machine for knitting fancy golf hose, and the business he built on it has been dressing golfers ever since.
We are still here. Still family-owned, still in Lanark, where all 87 of us work. Our designers shape each collection around the courses they play, often out on the links, in weather that asks something of both player and garment. Every club crest and personal monogram is embroidered in-house, a few doors from the design studio.
The garments are made for us by a small number of audited factories in Europe and Asia, chosen for their standards. Our merino is Italian-spun and our lambswool is British. What happens in Lanark is the part that makes a sweater Glenmuir: the design, the fit and the embroidery.
More than 130 years on, the aim hasn't changed. Clothing that feels right on the first tee and is still being worn ten seasons later.
Heritage
Kirkfieldbank, 1891. Five women called Mary, a knitting machine of Andrew MacDougall's own invention and a clan motto that stuck. The story of how a village hosiery business became the world's oldest golf clothing brand.

Club Embroidery
A club crest on a well-made sweater is how one member spots another across the car park. Our embroidery team in Lanark stitches crests for golf clubs, societies and events at home and abroad, from the first sample to the hundredth reorder.
