The “Homesick Scots” Collection

Scottish Island Gifts for Homesick Scots (and anyone who misses Scotland)

You know who you are. You’re the one getting emotional over a packet of shortbread in an international supermarket. You’ve tried explaining to colleagues what a “coo” is. Your laptop background is the Cuillins and you can name more Scottish islands than most people can name countries.

This collection is for you – seven properly Scottish things made in Scotland’s islands. Enough Scottish imagery to wallpaper your flat. No shame here.
