The only place to buy and sell original Scottish handmade products Rain? Yes! Cold? Snow? Talent? Yes, yes, yes! From then the site started to develop.
Despite our beautiful landscape and stunning countryside, Scotland’s challenging climate has been forcing our talented individuals indoors for generations. Whether writing some of the world’s most loved poems and prose, inventing the television or penicillin, composing music heard from Shetland to Seattle, or handcrafting stunning jewellery, we’ve been busy!
‘Crafted in Scotland’ was set up with
the aim of supporting and showcasing the creative talent of the Scots (both native and adopted!). Whilst you might be better sticking to your GP for your penicillin, ‘Crafted in Scotland’ is definitely the place to buy all your gifts and self-indulgent treats! The best of Scotland’s creative talent is on this site so come on in, browse and buy original unique Scottish wares safe in the knowledge that you’ve got something really special.
‘Crafted in Scotland’ was set up by Fiona Mackay in 2011. A keen crafter, musician, and struggling student, Fiona soon realised that there was a need to better promote Scottish crafts online (thus finding an opportunity to distract herself from looming essay deadlines!). Growing up in Perthshire, being dragged around distilleries and having folk music inflicted on her by family members who will remain nameless (begins with a D and ends in ad), it was impossible for her not to embrace all that is Scottish. For now you will find her running between the library, craft fairs, and Scotland rugby games (poor girl). Feel free to stop her and say hello, distractions from what she should be doing are one of her pastimes! Enjoy the site and spread the word!
