🏴 Scotland Travel Tile

A journey through the Highlands, stitched in thread

Welcome to Scotland—a country of dramatic landscapes, centuries of history and traditions that are instantly recognizable around the world.

From misty mountains and historic castles to the stirring sound of bagpipes, Scotland is a place where breathtaking scenery and proud heritage come together. Its national flower, the thistle, has become an enduring symbol of the country, while the distinctive Highland cow, with its long shaggy coat and unmistakable character, is loved by visitors and locals alike.

Our Scotland Travel Tile brings some of these much-loved Scottish symbols together in one detailed embroidered scene. At its heart, you'll find a traditional piper, a Highland cow, dramatic mountain scenery, a castle, bridge and the Scottish Saltire flying proudly above the landscape. Thistles add touches of colour throughout the design, while the decorative border and Scotland/Alba emblem complete the tile.

Whether Scotland is a place you've visited, a destination still on your travel wish list or somewhere close to your heritage, this tile is a beautiful way to stitch a little piece of the country into your collection.

🧵 What's Included?

The Scotland Travel Tile set includes 10 embroidery files, offering a variety of ways to stitch the design depending on your hoop size and the project you have in mind.

You'll receive two complete versions of the full tile, along with individual design elements and split sections of the larger tile. This gives you the flexibility to stitch the complete scene in one go where your hoop allows, or build the larger design using the split files.
