The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.
Registered at Companies House as PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND LIMITED, number SC203627. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
Stated by the company: "Our home and heart is in Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. This area has a rich heritage of knitting traditions and manufacturing, and we are proud to still make many of our famous cashmere pieces and more intricate designs here." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.

Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
