The Perfect Souvenir: Scotland has it!
Souvenirs, that’s usually on the list of things that people ask you about when you arrive home from your trip, followed by “show me the pictures!”. It’s always “well what did you get?” or “I bet you found the greatest gift for Christmas!” And, as someone who travels so often, it gets harder and harder to find the perfect souvenir, one that I can use often and is a a reminder of my trip and the memories I made!
But, when it comes to Scotland, I have the perfect souvenir/gift/reminder. Have you ever heard of the Islander Workshop Experience? Well, It should be on your bucket list of places to go to while on your trip to Scotland, Let’s talk about it!
