The Made Scotland Story

It began with a simple idea: that it had
to be easier to find beautiful, Scottish-made gifts online.

Though looking back it really started years ago, with the 'Scottish blanket' I ordered online when I was living in Singapore. Turns out it was made in China, utterly synthetic and very far from the Scottish wool blanket of my dreams.

Wonderful Scottish makers

Then moving back to Scotland nearly 10 years ago I discovered a thriving industry of fantastic Scottish makers. And it turned out I wasn't the only one frustrated by all the tat being sold as 'Scottish gifts' out there.

So many of us want good things made by real people but we don't always have time to get out and find the good stuff. I wanted to showcase great Scottish brands and make it easier for people to buy from them.

An exciting showcase

What if there was a one-stop-shop where you could discover, browse and buy from Scottish makers, all in a few minutes on your phone? And so in 2023, Made Scotland was born.

Here at Made Scotland Scottish gifts aren't about looking Scottish, they're about provenance, sustainability, stories.

Thoughtful. Sustainable. Never ordinary.An artisanal one-stop-shop

Helping you find gifts

It's also a gifting service, where I help businesses to curate bespoke gifts for customers, clients and colleagues.

Running the website combines three things so many of us love: exploring Scotland, discovering beautiful, sustainably-made things and discovering people's colourful stories. For me as a writer it's a natural fit. 

I hope you enjoy Made Scotland. I'm working hard to bring you thoughtful gifts, inspiring makers and a good dose of escapism.
