ScotlandShopのコレクションは歴史に深く浸透していながら現在でもファッション業界の基礎を担っているスコティシュタータンに見られる多彩な色彩に影響され、インスピレーションを受けております。スコットランド中にいる素晴らしいデザイナーや製造者と協力することにより出来上がる美しい織物は限りなくあります。私たちはファッションや生地やスコットランドの文化を愛してやまないという理由だけでなく、地元の経済の発展に貢献したいという思いからビジネスを立ち上げました。 私たちの主な基盤は美しいスコティシュボーダーズにある築１５０年以上の旧穀物倉です。ジム・クラーク・ラリーの故郷であるダンズという町の中心からすこし離れたところにあります。この風光明媚な場所から私たちはスコットランドといえば耳にするフレンドリーさ、有益さで最高のサービスを提供させていただけるよう努めます。 2002年にアナ・ホワイトにより設立され、近年では５つの言語で商品紹介やサービス提供に対応し、日常的に商品を海外発送するなど国際的に活動しております。
