The Scottish Blackface is an attractive, hardy, old breed whose origins are lost to us. It is likely that the breed developed in the border area of Scotland and England..Our Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Zardozi work is a rare and respected craft, the skills of which are handed down from generation to generation. All our decorations are handmade, and the time taken to make each one is reflected in their unique quality.

I adored this ornament, so well made. I saw it on a gourmet and British goods shop and almost bought it but was happy to find it here for a better price.

This Xmas tree ornament makes the perfect bag charm for my tartan handbag. He’s beautifully made; even the back is nicely finished in tartan fabric with gold edging. He’s so cute, and I could not love him more.
