They say dads are difficult to buy for. But maybe we're just not looking in the right place for our father's day gifts?
When I look back at the presents we used to buy our dad, it makes me shudder. A succession of ridiculous novelty corkscrews. Pointless paperweights he never needed. And a lot of cigars. Incidentally, it's pretty crazy how as pre-teens we could just walk into a shop and buy a handful of cigars for our dad.
So this Father's Day at Made Scotland we've pulled together a perfectly curated collection of Father's Day gifts - well-made things by Scottish makers that he'll actually use.
Simple and wonderful smelling, Dook Soap is handmade in maker Helen's Portobello workshop.
