Textile history
Finlayson textile factories started here in Tampere in 1828. Finlayson was named after Scottish James Finlayson (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Finlayson) who was founder of the factories.
Nowadays the old factories in centre of Tampere are closed down, the old buildings are use in entertainment, museum and commercial district.
Luckily Finlayson is still doing textiles, and company has factory store in old factory area. It's a lovely store, and this you can see near the counter.
Oh, they have sale now and I bought "little something" today... :-)
