My wife and I, in 1986, did a similar tour of the Lochcarron facility. Yes it was one of the coolest parts of our trip.
One really cool thing was to see the bolt of tartan my pipe band had ordered being woven. We went through that bolt quickly, and had to order another. Pipe bands go through a lot of tartan! (I'm front row, third from left.)

I see a gent in the background wearing a kilt in what seems to be that same tartan. (He looks familiar but I can't place him.)
I wonder what tartan that is.
