Fàilte!  To our guests and visitors this summer.  Welcome! To our enchanting city of Edinburgh – ’tis the season of warmer weather, longer days and braw times.  These summer months are bustling, vibrant and full of life.  Visitors come to Edinburgh for all sorts of reasons, but the one thing we hear folks in our shop say again and again is how picturesque this city is.

Oh Edinburgh, it’s so beautiful! Oh Edinburgh, I love this city!  And we wholeheartedly agree.  One of our favourite tokens of home are our gorgeous Scottish Thistle Earrings.  Synonymous with Scotland, the Thistle is a symbol of beauty, strength and resilience – and the ability to weather any storm.

One can get lost for hours gazing at steepled skylines, meander for days down cobbled lanes, be captivated for a lifetime by ancient beauty.  Green open spaces, friendly locals and truly remarkable architecture embedded into volcanic rock – Edinburgh is a cherished visitor destination.  There’s something about Edinburgh, old and wise like the Cailleach, that makes one come alive with contemplation.  Like a dandelion pushing up between the cobbles, this city can crack you open and sprout new seeds of change.  Take these exquisite dandelion drop silver earrings home with you, to forever remind you of new perspectives, of the moment you awakened a hidden part of yourself.

Expanding our comfort zones, creating new connections and developing a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, make travelling to new places profoundly enticing.  Edinburgh lures us into her nooks and crannies, to then be ushered out onto a verdant tree-lined lane.  Old stone and granite tenements, standing as sentinels over the Royal Mile for centuries, still and silent as we noisily, messily, endlessly repeat our cycles of life, death and rebirth.  Stunning Celtic Knot silver earrings and matching Celtic Knot silver necklace are a meaningful souvenir for a loved one, to share with them the interconnectedness of life.

There’s something about Edinburgh, old and wise like the Cailleach, that makes one come alive with contemplation.  Like a dandelion pushing up between the cobbles, this city can crack you open and sprout new seeds of change.  Take these exquisite Scottish Dandelion flower earrings home with you, to forever remind you of new perspectives, of the moment you awakened a hidden part of yourself.

Every close running off the Royal Mile, harbours old secrets, every building births new stories.  Edinburgh is steeped in mystery and magic, and we love having our shop in the heart of the Old Town. 

If you are in Edinburgh, and find yourself searching ‘is there a souvenir shop near me?’, come and pay us a visit at 11 Jeffrey Street, just off The Royal Mile.  Connecting Edinburgh Castle at its brow, to The Palace of Holyrood House at its base, The Royal Mile has for centuries been the seat of Royalty and Governance.  St Giles’ Cathedral, the Scottish Parliament, The High Court, The City Chambers and of course our Royal Mile Silver shop!  Each worth a visit in their own right.

If you look closely enough at old stone churches and granite facades, you’ll start to see Scottish and Celtic symbols everywhere you go.  We know you’re not meant to have favourite symbols, but if our shop could talk, she’d choose the Luckenbooth.  Meaning ‘lock(ed) booth’ or workshop, the Luckenbooth – with its two intertwining hearts topped with a crown – represents love and protection. Traditionally gifted from Mothers to Daughters, Luckenbooths have become a great universal souvenir to bring good energy and luck. 

Our Luckenbooth silver earrings and Luckenbooth necklace are detailed and delicate.  Let them guide you back to the paths in your heart, that show you the way home.
