Elizabeth Scott (textile manufacturer)

Elizabeth Scott (née Chalmers; died 6 April 1795) was a British textile manufacturer based in Scotland.

She later supplied for a grant from the Edinburgh Society for Encouraging Arts, Sciences, Manufactures, and Agriculture to make "brown cottons".

She bought looms that had linen warps so that a cotton weft thread could be woven in and the board supplied other assistance.

She improved her business by visiting London to establish buyers for her work and she applied for more grants to train people in how to use the new spinning jenny.
