Year ended 31 December 2025
Principal Activity The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of manufacture, wholesale and retail of exclusive fabrics and accessories as well as all products relating to Highland Wear. Business Review Turnover for the year was £8.8m compared to £8.2m in 2024. The operating profit for the year was £1.2m compared to an operating profit of £1.1m in 2024. The profit before taxation for the year was £1.3m compared to a profit of £1.2m in 2024. Closing shareholders' funds is £7.7m compared to £6.6m in 2024. The growth in sales turnover during 2025 was largely due to organic growth in our traditional wholesale and fashion design business. We also saw continuing growth in direct-to-consumer sales via the Lochcarron website, which had a landmark year reaching over £1m in sales for the first time. We continued to see the benefit of investments made in recent years to increase manufacturing efficiency, and made further investments in manufacturing machinery during the year to ensure that manufacturing output keeps up with increasing demand. This improvement in sales growth and operational efficiencies resulted in the steady improvement of the operating profit and margins of the company during the year. The company wishes to thank Mr Craig Murray for his contributions, following his retirement from the position of Director on 31st December 2025. He was replaced on the Board of Directors by the appointment of Mr Kim Jong Yun effective 1st January 2026. Future Developments The company remains focused on the long-term growth of manufacturing, retail and wholesale businesses as well as improving operating efficiency. At the end of 2024, the company installed solar panels on the roof of the warehouse at our Selkirk facility. In 2025 the solar array provided 29% of our total electricity usage, delivering both cost savings, and a significant contribution towards Lochcarron's Net Zero initiative. The company will continue to invest in the Lochcarron of Scotland brand as an important part of the growth of the business. Director Mrs Dawn Robson-Bell stepped down to a Non-Executive director position on 28th February 2026. Miss Leah Robertson (previously Lochcarron's Marketing and Retail Sales Manager) was appointed as Managing Director effective 1st March 2026. Corporate and Social Responsibility The company carries out regular risk assessments to guarantee the wellbeing of staff and visitors, in accordance with Health and Safety legislation. The company actively manages its reputation, and drives best practice, through the application of ethical sales and purchasing policies. The company is an equal opportunities employer which promotes diversity and does not differentiate on gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or physical ability. Lochcarron is a certified Real Living Wage employer. Principal Risks and Uncertainties The key business risks affecting the company continue to come from fluctuations in the UK Economy, the post-Brexit landscape for international trade, and the risk of alternative suppliers importing from territories with lower labour costs. The current economic conditions create uncertainty particularly over the level of demand for the company's products. The company seeks to manage this risk by diversifying and updating its product ranges where possible. Recent developments in global trade, in particular the changing tariff landscape in the United States, present a challenge. Lochcarron will continue to respond to these changes, balancing the need to reduce our exposure to additional customs and export costs while maintaining support for affected customers. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The company's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and liquidity risk. Credit risk The company seek to manage its credit risk by dealing with established customers or otherwise checking the credit-worthiness of new customers, establishing clear contractual relationships with those customers and by identifying and addressing any credit issues arising in a timely manner. Interest rate risk The company has no interest-bearing borrowings. Exposure to market risk for the changes in interest rates relates primarily to its bank deposits. The company seeks to manage this risk by the use of a combination of variable and fixed rate deposits. Currency risk The company minimises its risk to foreign currency fluctuations by invoicing and purchasing in Sterling where possible and where not by balancing as far as possible sales and purchases in matching foreign currency. Liquidity risk The company seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs. At present, cash reserves are sufficient to fund all foreseeable future operational and investment needs, and parent company support can be called upon if necessary. This gives the company the necessary financial backing to carry out its intended plans and properly finance the ongoing operations of the business. Considering the current level of liquidity, the company intends to close its Invoice Finance facility during 2026, as access to flexible credit is not anticipated to be required in the foreseeable future.

Disclosure of information in the strategic report
The company has chosen to set out in the strategic report information about the future developments of the company and the financial instruments.
Directors' responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Auditor
Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and - they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a director to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Member of
Lochcarron of Scotland Limited |
|
Year ended 31 December 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Lochcarron of Scotland Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of income and retained earnings, statement of financial position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: - the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; - we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the company and sector in which it operates; - we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; - we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and - identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: - making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and - considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 3 were indicative of potential bias; and - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and - reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's member, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's member those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's member as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements |
|
Year ended 31 December 2025
1.
General information
Lochcarron of Scotland Limited
is a company incorporated in Scotland. The address of the registered office is Waverley Mill, Rogers Road, Selkirk, Scottish Borders, TD7 5DX. The nature of the company's operations and its principal activities are the manufacture, wholesale and retail of exclusive fabrics and accessories as well as all products relating to Highland Wear.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of Eland World Limited. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented. (c) No disclosure has been given for the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel.
Consolidation
As permitted by section 401 of Companies Act 2006, the company has not prepared consolidated financial statements as it is a wholly owned subsidiary undertaking of Euro E-Land Company Plc, a company registered in England and Wales. Euro E-Land Company Plc is a subsidiary of ELand World Limited, a company registered in South Korea which prepares consolidated financial statements that include the results of the company. These financial statements therefore present information about the company as an an individual undertaking and not about the group.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant judgements The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows: Depreciation Tangible assets are recognised at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Depreciation take place over the estimated useful life, down to the assets residual value. The carrying amount of the company's fixed assets is tested as soon as changed conditions show that a need for impairment has arisen. Stock obsolescence provision The company's stock values have been assessed at the reporting date for slow moving stock whereby the future value of the stock may be reduced below current valuations due to stock obsolescence. An allowance has therefore been made for slow moving stock in the accounts by creating a reserve against stock values. Key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. There are no material balances in the financial statements which involve a significant degree of estimation by management. As such no key sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to profit and loss.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
|
Leasehold property improvements |
- |
over the life of the lease
|
|
Plant and machinery |
- |
straight line over 4 - 20 years
|
|
Motor vehicles |
- |
4 - 6 years straight line
|
|
Office equipment |
- |
2 - 6 years straight line
|
|
|
|
|
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Financial instruments
The company holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the company and their measurement basis are as follows: Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition.
Defined contribution pension plans
Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
