Kitty Bruce-Gardyne is the founder of Scottish Textiles Showcase. Originally set up to give people special guided tours around the textile mills in Scotland, Scottish Textile Showcase is now a retail destination in Edinburgh.
The shop represents some of Scotland's best textile businesses and Kitty tells the story of why she so passionately supports the Scottish textile industry.
There's also a video version of this interview. So if you want to see inside Kitty's store, head on over to the Make it British YouTube channel.
