Cashmere from the Borders, Harris Tweed woven by hand in the Outer Hebrides, ceramics and candles and hand-poured soaps coming out of small studios from Shetland to the Borders – and most of what Scotland makes you won’t find on a high street.
I love buying direct from Scottish brands who actually care about where things are made, the independent makers, the heritage mills, the designers working with traditional materials in new ways. So here are my favourites.
