Tom Weir was born in Springburn, Glasgow, on 29 December 1914. He was an accomplished mountaineer climbing peaks in Nepal and Norway. At home, he became a much-loved writer and broadcaster who shared his enthusiasm for Scotland’s great outdoors. He is perhaps best-known for his series Weir’s Way 🏔️ We recently acquired one of Tom’s trademark bobble hats. This was made by Tom’s wife Rhona Weir, who knitted all of his bunnets 🧶 He and Rhona lived most their lives nearby the banks of Loch Lomond.
