My Story
I created Made Scotland to give people a one-stop store where they could find a wide range of good quality, sustainably-made products created by makers all over Scotland.
The website was inspired by my years of living away, when I struggled to find interesting, Scottish-made things to give to friends and family.
DISCOVERING SCOTTISH MAKERS
Every online search for ‘Scottish gifts’ would turn up the usual mass-produced tartan fare, but I was after something more original. Something that had a story, that was produced with sustainability in mind, that was made with purpose. Then I moved back to Scotland in 2017 and discovered an exciting, thriving scene of makers, producing high quality things. Unique homeware, high-end knitwear, artisanal food and drink, skincare, beautiful art and more.
But this stuff wasn’t easy to come by. Most were chance discoveries, spotted at a remote Highland store, a country fair, a city market. Or clever gifts, a tip from someone in-the-know, an unusual find in the house of a friend.
A SUSTAINABLE GIFT SHOP
So why was nobody gathering them together, putting them all in one shop window and telling the stories of the makers? Why wasn’t there a website where you could find beautiful things, all made in Scotland, learn about the makers and get great tips on places to go and things to see?
And so I set up Made Scotland. It helped that the website combines three of my favourite things: exploring Scotland, finding beautiful, sustainably-made things and talking to people about their lives. As a writer who’d worked in women’s magazines for years, it was a natural fit.
I hope you enjoy Made Scotland where I am working hard to bring you hard-to-find treasures, inspiring makers and a good dose of escapism.
