Lady Haig's poppy factory

Photograph at the Lady Haig's poppy factory black plaque

Lady Haig's Poppy Factory stands as Scotland's counterpart to the original factory established in Richmond. It was founded in Edinburgh in 1926, continuing a tradition of support for veterans.

This organisation continues to produce remembrance poppies, crafting around five million each year. Its work ensures that the symbolism of the poppy remains a visible part of remembrance efforts across the nation.
