Scotland’s plants have stories to tell. This illustrated hardback explores their place in everyday life, from food and traditional remedies to folklore, children’s games and magical charms.
There’s more to Scotland’s plants than their place in the landscape.
In Scottish Plant Lore: An Illustrated Flora, botanist Gregory J. Kenicer explores the connections between plants and the people who have used them. From heather moorlands to town gardens, Scotland’s flora has supplied food, drink and materials while finding its way into stories, traditions and beliefs.
Drawing on archives and oral histories, the book brings together knowledge of traditional remedies, agriculture, industry, children’s games and magical charms. Colour botanical illustrations accompany the stories, celebrating both the plants themselves and their cultural history.
A thoughtful gift for plant lovers, botanical art enthusiasts and anyone curious about Scotland’s natural heritage.
