Burnfoot Wool is a family-run business based in the heart of the Ewes Valley, Langholm. Founded by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Gillian Elliot, alongside Andrew’s mother, Anne, they have transformed Burnfoot Farm into a thriving hub for high-quality, sustainable wool products.

Their farm is home to 1,500 South Country Cheviot cross New Zealand Romney sheep and 30 Galloway cattle, spread across 3,000 acres of traditional hill farmland. While Andrew’s family has long bred South Country Cheviots—well-established in the region—he made the decision in 2003 to introduce New Zealand Romney genetics. This strategic move resulted in a more productive, easy-lambing ewe and enhanced wool production. From the outset, Andrew dreamed of crafting a lambswool blanket from his own flock’s wool.
