My grandma passed away recently and I found this very pretty wool scarf in her closet- my mom isn't super into family history so we have no information on it. I think it looks a bit older and was hoping someone could help point me to what year the scarf may have been made or any other interesting history about Kiltman! I did do a reverse image search and wasn't able to find much.

Honestly, how do you think this works?
What is ‘kiltman’? The only thing to go by is potentially ‘kiltmaker’ being a brand, which it doesn’t appear to be.
Considering the labels are stuck on with glue would suggest it’s no older than mid century.

This looks like the same logo. (google image search specifically on the label found this, from an eBay listing describing the item as “vintage”)
So we have an address to look up.
4-9 Huntly St is the premises of [https://www.highlandhouseoffraser.com/](https://www.highlandhouseoffraser.com/) Highland House of Fraser.
But that wasn’t the original owner. They took it over from Hector Russell in 2004.
Your scarf is at least 20 years old, but other than that, I have no suggestions.
