You will enjoy four nights in a recently renovated one-bedroom apartment at one of the best addresses the city has to offer in the center of Edinburgh's Old Town.

As with all of Erica Weiner's antique and handmade jewels, this ring has a wonderful story to tell. History and humor infuse Erica's designs, which are always made with love.

The original piece had multiple stamps with wonderfully cryptic sentiments and images, all appearing in mirror-image reverse. This was so when the seal was pressed into hot wax, the text would be embossed legibly, right-side-around. It features a ring base with rustic detail intact to reference the object's utilitarian history and an orange sapphire, which creates a juxtaposition of unpolished metal and bling. Note that your ring's text will be backwards, just like the original artifact.

The flagship store of Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers is nestled into the shop floor of a seventeenth-century tenement on Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, where they have been trading handmade kilts and highlandwear since April 2009. The man with his name above the door (you can call him 'Gordon') had a simple dream: to promote a better standard of kiltmaking by focusing on authentic Scottish craftsmanship. In many ways, Gordon was a lot like legendary author Sir Walter Scott. Not because he wrote epic pieces of romantic fiction (not yet anyway) but because he was an Edinburgh man with a Highlander's heart. Like Sir Walter, Gordon is committed to the preservation and celebration of his national heritage through his favorite medium.

The decanter is handmade and hand filled in the Angels' Share Glass Bridge of Allan studio and feature a cork stopper for the nose, delicate pink ears, and subtle blue eyes. The pig is held by the tail and the drink can be poured through the nose, portrayed by a cork stopper, and then re-filled later.

Following on from the 'Gin Craze' of the early eighteenth century when half of the London drinking establishments were gin bars, and later when the aristocracy of the Victorian era had 'Gin Palaces' there was a desire for specially made jugs and decanters to display how wealthy the household was. Many of these were made from hand blown glass and were known as Gin Pigs.

Gin Pigs did not always come in the form of a pig, some establishments favoured dogs or fish. With the recent renaissance of gin, with an emphasis on Scottish gin, the history of these vessels has been uncovered and the desire to recreate these is now in the hands of the expert glassblowers at Angels' Share Glass.

This Gin Pig is filled with 50ml/5cl of Artisan Scottish Gin at 40% ABV. approx 70mm diameter - it's is a miniature sized measure.

Yet, the studio fully engages a design discourse with textile's history by lending an aesthetic evolution to time-honoured motifs.

BritishTheatre gives Islander five-stars, calling it "A flawless gem. A modern folk tale that is hard not to fall in love with." Winner of Musical Theatre Review's Best New Musical at Edinburgh Fringe 2019, Islander is intimately staged with a contemporary Scottish folk-inspired score and epic storytelling. "It's a gorgeous production, rich in wit, musicality and transformation" (The Guardian).

A true legend in Scotland's whisky-making history, "The Angels' Share" is a term for the measure of a distilled spirit's volume that is lost to evaporation whilst the whisky is maturing in its cask or barrel. This unique design by Angels' Share Glass captures the measure in a sealed glass angel through a secret process, known only to the highly skilled craftsmen who have created it.

This whisky angel holds a pewter crest adorned with a Scottish Thistle, the national flower of Scotland. Holding 25ml of Scotch single malt whisky, this remarkable design allows the spirit to be captured in the molten glass without combusting.

Approximately 70mm in height, the angel is beautifully boxed and comes complete with a delightful story.

The whisky is not for drinking and is completely sealed, so you can keep your favorite dram forever.

Tom Young MBE and daughter Karen produce beautiful glassware, creating the very best in innovative and creative concepts. Together they have supplied some of the world's leading distillers with products used for the distilling process. The idea for the business was born out of the Legend of The Angels' Share After watching a Film of the same name. Karen & Tom designed the Whisky Angel. This is now the signature product and the glassware range has evolved around whisky and spirits ever since.

This sculpture by Giulio Mosca depicts an angel, in an organic and fluid form.

The work was included in Mosca's 2019 solo exhibition, "Anthropologycal Icons" at IECC Casa Colombo.

Giulio Mosca was born in Cassano Irpino Italy in 1948. He studied sculpture at Albertina Academy under the guidance of the master, Sandro Cherchi. During that time, he participated the "Conceptual Art"? (Arte Concettuale) and the "Poor Art"? (Arte Povera) movements promoted by Penone, Zorio, and other protagonists of the Post Avant Garde period.

Frequently involved in the international sphere of the Galleria Sperone, he collaborated in particular, with the American artist Sol Lewitt.
He obtained a full-time teaching position in Sculpture and the art licei in Torino, and continued to exhibit his work in international events. His sculptures and monuments are exhibited in both private and in public spaces.

He is interested in research and experimentation, and investigating different philosophical reflections surrounding the mystery of life and the role of art as a cathartic for new systems of knowledge. He expresses his art using various materials ranging from bronze to aluminum, wax and plaster, photography and paint. With Raffaella Giordana, and in collaboration with Silvana Nota, he created the project "Terra Interiore"? for the Museum of Art at Casa Colombo (MACC). Mr. Mosca lives in Moncalieri in the Province of Torino (Italy).

The tiny Hebridean Isle of Canna holds an outsized place in Scott­ish culture - and in our hearts. Now we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make sure this extraordinary island and the treasures it holds are protected and made accessible to visitors from around the world.

In 1981, the National Trust for Scotland received an incredible bequest from Dr. John Lorne Campbell and his American wife, Margaret Fay Shaw - the remote Hebridean island where they lived and worked for over forty years.

John, a pioneering Gaelic scholar, and Margaret, a folklorist and photographer, purchased the island in 1938 and together made a home in Canna House. Over the decades, they amassed an extensive archive of audio and film recordings featuring Scots Gaelic songs and folklore, as well as poetry, photographs, and publications. Their collection remains one of the most important archives of Scots Gaelic language and culture in the world.

Since 2006, with the generous support of American donors, The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA has had the privilege to grant funds for critical work on Canna. We've underwritten the conservation and digitization of archival materials and funded urgent repairs to Canna House, where the collection is stored.

Today we're embarking on an ambitious plan to improve access - both physical and virtual - to the natural, built, and cultural heritage of Canna and to the globally-renowned collection amassed by John and Margaret.

And we're asking for your help. Your donation today will have an impact for generations.

Donors of $200 or more will receive an exclusive NTSUSA USB containing a digital file of the film Solas, which has never been previously available in the United States.
