Scotlands plants define its landscape from the heather moorlands of its iconic habitats to the weeds and a garden plants of its towns and cities. Plants have shaped the countrys domestic economy and culture over centuries, providing resources for agriculture and industry as well as food, drink and medicines. They have even inspired childrens games and been used as components in magical charms





Drawing together traditional knowledge from archives and oral histories with the work of some of the countrys finest botanical artists, this book is a magnificent celebration of the enormous wealth of Scottish plant lore.

'A small number of books are so beautiful, or so interesting, or so useful as a reference that you know immediately you will be returning to the time and again. Scottish Plant Lore is one of those all-too-rare books that qualify on all three frontsEverything about this book exudes quality' * Undiscovered Scotland * 'A lovely coffee table book, filled with an array of beautiful drawings and information that you will return to time and again ... a fine place for wannabe horticulturists inspired to create their own green haven' * Scottish Field *
