Packed by hand, a few at a time

Thistle & Twine is a small packing room in Perthshire. Catriona started it at her kitchen table, and now packs with a team of three at a long wooden bench by the window.

We pack in small batches, so every hamper is checked, wrapped and tied by the person who filled it. Nothing goes in that we would not be glad to get ourselves, and there are never any prices in the box.

What goes in, and where it comes from

Shortbread and oatcakes
Baked in small batches by a family bakery a few miles up the glen.
Heather honey
From hives on the moor, taken off in late summer when the heather is over.
Preserves and chutney
Cooked in a farm kitchen with fruit and onions grown in the Carse.
Candles, hand cream and wool
Poured, mixed and woven by makers in Fife and the Borders.
