A Scottish countryman, particularly responsible for the care and upkeep of the lands and stock on hunting and fishing grounds. Wet and windy, highland and sea mist and fog–inclement weather *in general has given us great quality hardwearing, warm clothing textiles from local highland wool. Any and all of which are eminently suited to rough handling in interiors: playrooms, family rooms, hallways and studies, they are the mainstay of farmhouse style furnishings.
* Scotland is an incredibly beautiful, magical place that has also given us poets and writers, whisky, shortbread and bagpipes…but you don’t often go there to sunbathe.
