A commissioned essay, tracing the papermilling heritage of Scotland to the British Linen Bank and Scotland's exports to the Caribbean of slave cloth, also known as osnaburgs. The etymology of linen is explored, alongside the links between collecting textile rags for pulping in traditional papermaking processes with the historic references to tabloid newspapers as 'rags' in a British context.
