During the last few years Scotland4me.net has featured many new businesses covering a wide selection of talents and range of products. As we approach the festive season we re-visit some of those wonderful areas of Scotland where the most unusual creative crafts can be found.
In September 2005 Andrew Sage from Aberdeen came to our notice, especially his inventive board games for people of all ages. The first of these, Dragon’s Trail, is a simple “there and back again race” – but it has a twist in the tail which means that anyone can win right up to the end. Originally targeted at 5-8 year-olds, it has proved to be a hit with kids of all ages! More examples of Andrew's work can be foundat www.asae.co.uk
In November 2006 we brought your attention to a very talented potter who works on the Isle of Skye. Neal Hately of Halistra Potteries produces some outstanding and very unique items. His pottery is essentially functional and intended for everyday use. A full range of his work and examples of his creative skills can be viewed at www.halistra-pottery.co.uk
