Scottish gifts for her, made in the islands
A shortlist of island-made gifts for the women in your life – mothers, sisters, daughters, partners and friends. Each one is handmade by a maker in Scotland’s islands, and chosen to feel personal rather than predictable.
There is handcrafted jewellery set with Scotland’s own gemstones, candles poured by island makers, a handwoven merino scarf and island artwork. Pieces made slowly, by hand, and meant to be kept.
Whatever her taste, and whatever your budget, there is something here worth wrapping.
