Poppyscotland

Who we are

The Lady Haig Poppy Factory is a subsidiary charity of Poppyscotland. Both charities are members of The Royal British Legion Group of charities supporting those in need who have served in the Armed Forces and their dependents in Scotland.

The Factory has a workforce of 40 ex-Servicemen, the majority of whom are disabled, and while we are a commercial organisation, we are also a charity that provides dignity through work. Many of our workers have been with us for many years and there is a palpable feeling of the military about the place that provides a comfortable and secure atmosphere, for both visitors and workers alike. We work hard to ensure it remains primarily a happy and productive workplace.

The original Lady Haig Poppy Factory was opened in March 1926, employing men who had been disabled during World War 1 to make poppies for Scotland.  We moved into the Warriston Road / Logie Green Road factory in 1965. 

As well as the five million poppies that are handmade each year, we also produce over 12,000 wreaths to order. We process over 25,000 collection tins and make up and dispatch orders to Poppy Appeal Area Organisers all over Scotland. We also make Remembrance Crosses, Long Stemmed Poppies and Dress Poppies, for sale to the public.
