Historical Background
Two distinct Jamieson wool businesses operate in Shetland with separate histories and trademark positions. Jamieson's of Shetland was started in the early 1890s by Robert Jamieson in Sandness. Jamieson & Smith (Shetland Wool Brokers) began in the 1930s in Scalloway. Both companies use the 3-Sheep logo as a registered trademark to certify Real Shetland wool authenticity, creating an unusual shared certification mark arrangement.
