Pink Striped Harris Tweed Keepsake Miniature Scottish Mushroom Bothy Collectible, Handmade in Scotland.
Measures approximately 11cm x 6.5cm.
Beautiful unique Scottish bothy handmade and delicately hand painted by me in Fife, Scotland, I have also used Harris Tweed fabric on the roof which is handwoven by weavers in the Outer Hebrides and there are little handmade sheep wandering around outside!
These bothies are simple shelters found in remote areas of Scotland, originally used by shepherds and other workers needing temporary accommodation in the Highlands. The name originates from the Gaelic word "bothan" for hut, and they date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Many were built during the Highland Clearances when workers needed basic shelters while working on the land.
Today, bothies are cherished for their communal nature and are often used by hikers and climbers visiting Scotland.
This gorgeous little bothy would make the perfect housewarming gift or the ideal item to bring a little piece of Scotland into your home.
