Meet The Maker
Hi there, I’m Carol
I’m the founder and maker behind Scottish Keepsakes. Born in Dundee and proud to have called Scotland home all my life, I grew up surrounded by the country’s creative traditions: Burns verse-speaking, kilt-making, accordion music, and the unmistakable comfort of homemade Scottish food.
Those early influences, along with a lifelong love of sketching, sewing, and writing, now shape every item I design and make.
Inspired by Scottish heritage
Each keepsake is infused with symbols and traditions drawn from Scotland’s folklore and heritage. From tartan accents to recognised symbols of Scotland, every design reflects Scotland’s character in a fresh, timeless way – elegant rather than touristy, heartfelt rather than predictable.
Scottish gifts that carry meaning
Whether it’s a wedding gift, a newborn keepsake, or a token for someone living far from home, Scottish Keepsakes helps people celebrate connections that matter. Every item is made with care and attention to detail, offering thoughtful quality that lasts well beyond the moment it’s given.
