Life for a damask weaver in nineteenth century Scotland was never an easy one and never predictable if one happened to live and work on Fordom Estate. But Robert Peterson and his wife did just that. The consequences of working for the Havington family affected both the weaver and the Viscount, no more so than during the period between 1869 and 1875, and their story is told in detail in the Damask Weaver.
