New Products and Suppliers at The Tower Shop
This month we’re spotlighting four of our local and independent suppliers, who are either new to the gift shop at The National Wallace Monument or have new products in their range. Read on to find out more…
Amy Britton is a Stirling based designer who is passionate about preserving Scottish Heritage and promoting sustainable practices.
Her tartan range of cute coin purses and pencil cases are designed and handmade with Strome cloth. They’re made with 100% locally sourced Scottish wool woven by Lochcarron of Scotland and handmade in Stirling.
Hamilton & Morris are another Scottish brand that showcase the Gaelic language on beautifully hand crafted candles, diffusers, and wax melts.
The company takes inspiration from the great industrial and coal mining history of our country, as well as the wild landscape to develop nature-inspired candle scents designed to relax and uplift you.
Worrywarts by Cured are a mindful collection of handcrafted creatures designed to take your worries away.
Inspired by traditional Guatemalan worrydolls and made right here in Scotland by artist Zoe Scott, each Worrywart is cast in solid concrete, air-cured for 28 days, and hand-finished with food grade natural wax. Zoe’s studio is proudly zero waste, and her work avoids kilns, plastic, and unnecessary energy use.
The new Legends collection, inspired by mythology of the UK features Nessie, a unicorn and a dragon, and don’t miss the highland cow from her Wild collection.
Brewed with passion and experience in the heart of Stirling, these award winning craft beers are brewed the traditional way but with a twist, meaning lots of exciting and contemporary flavours and tastes in their range.
There’s even one named after our National Hero, William Wallace! A Scottish Export that has a slightly sweet and malty taste with a hint of toffee.
The gift shop has two new additions. Valente’s, with its silky smooth texture, welcoming coffee aroma and a rich dark nature, it is clear why it was awarded gold at the 2012 World Beer Awards. And 1488, a partnership between the Black Wolf Brewery and Tullibardine distillery to create a unique beer with a light whisky aroma
They say beer worth howling for. We agree!
