Welcome to our monthly Made in Scotland blog where we explore the incredibly creative makers in the best wee country in the world! We adore the illustrations created by Tori at Harbour Lane Studio that are then turned into lampshades, blankets, cushions and even furniture. Inspired by a particular setting, landscape, city or wildlife, these Scottish made pieces are an incredible reminder of Scotland for your home.
