In the heart of Scotland
Bringing The Old Peter Scott Building Back To Life
Peter Scott knitwear factory has had a long association with the town of Hawick dating back to the 1800s. Located at their Buccleuch
Street premises for many a year, until its closure a few years ago, due to the decline in knitwear
manufacturing throughout the country.
The Pesco MILLS Development
The factory was purchased in recent times by Pesco Developments Ltd, with a view to turning the former knitwear premises into luxury over 55s apartments.
We are delighted to say the development of the first phase of 10 stunning apartments is now underway.
Hawick has long been crying out for such a development, a safe secure residence where like-minded over 55s, can enjoy quality living in a peaceful environment.
Development
Many mature couples live in large family houses, a high proportion of which are on the boundaries of town or at the top of a hill, due to the very nature of the town’s layout. They have large gardens, which they now struggle to maintain, or perhaps they reside near a river and have fear of fooding, all points that I have
heard people make, in the last few years.
