4/2/09 Lockharen Woolen Mills, Scottish Enterprises

Today we went to visit Lockharen Woolen Mills, which was a 1.5 hour drive from where we were. On the way I really wished we would stop and get a better look at the beautiful Scottish countryside I could see through the windows. The mill tour was kind of stupid, the only thing I learned was that if there was one thread missing in a fabric that they had to then fix the entire thing by hand. Overall it seemed like poor time management as we spent 1.5 hrs driving each way for a 45 min tour which was not very interesting or relevant. We certainly could have done a lot more with those 4 hours.

Next we went to Scottish enterprises, which was a government entity that did business consulting. We did a case study about how to fix the problems of a family manufacturing business, which was interesting. I found this visit gave some useful insights into business consulting.

At night JJ, Nate and I had pizza at an Italian restaurant across from our hotel.
