Long-held traditions combining Borders folk‘s inherent creativity and finely-honed skills with a wealth of natural resources have ensured that shoppers visiting the region will be quite spoilt for choice.
As a reminder of a visit to the Scottish Borders, pottery and ceramics are always a popular choice. Hand-made or hand thrown locally, the spirit and colour of the Borders is part of each piece. Crafts are also in abundance within the Scottish Borders and there are woodworkers, glass-blowers, workers in stone, stained glass artists, furniture makers, metal workers, jewellers, and an impressive variety of potters throughout the region and many are willing to welcome the visitor into their workshop and demonstrate their skills as well as selling their products.
