The Clans are the glory of Scotland

They express the essential spirit of the Scots-their romance, their generosity and their love of nature. Each clan has a signature plant-the Clan plant.
We use the fragrance oils from the main Clan plants as the scent backbone of a unique family of fragrances; amongst the most glorious perfumes of our time, romantic and appealing and distinctly Scottish.

George Dodd, the only perfumer in Scotland has created these wonderfully uplifting Clan fragrances using the following Clan scent oils- Juniper, Red Whortleberry, Highland Myrtle, Heather and Pine

After a very successful launch at the Glasgow show our new Clan fragrance, perfume and soaps will be available from our website http://www.scottishperfumes.com from the second week in February.

Could the lady who bought cufflinks for her husband in our shop and then lost them, please get in touch. They were found in another local shop and returned to us. We will be happy to send them on to you.

Name Change

Unfortunately the kiltmaker, Briony Finlay, who we were in partnership with,is unable to continue working in the shop due to personal circumstances. Since we will no longer have a kiltmaker on the premises we will be changing the name of the shop to Cuillin Crafts.
Along with our own range of gifts and jewellery we also have the work of several other local artists and crafts people for sale. These have been specially selected for the diversity and quality of their work and all with one thing in common, made on Skye.
Cuillin Crafts can be found in Armadale House, Bank Street, Portree. Opposite Somerfields supermarket.

If you visited our shop in Portree and saw something you liked but can not find it on the website, then please email and we will do our best to help.

How to care for your silver jewellery

We recommend the regular use of a silver polishing cloth impregnated with an anti-tarnish ingredient.
We advise that you do not use silver dip - this is a very harsh chemical and over use will damage the surface of the silver.

If needed use the following home made dip although this is not recommended for antique jewellery.

Cover the bottom of a glass or plastic pan with aluminium foil. Pour in about 1 cup boiling water and add 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to dissolve.
Drop the silver pieces into the liquid and make sure each piece of silverware is touching. The tarnish will slowly disappear before your eyes. Rinse and buff dry.
For severely tarnished silver, more than one treatment may be necessary.
