Scottish Plant Lore: An illustrated flora

Scotland’s plants define its landscape – from the heather moorlands and pinewoods of iconic Scottish habitats to the weeds and garden plants of Scottish towns and cities. They have shaped the country’s domestic economy and culture over centuries, providing resources for agriculture and industry as well as food, rink and medicines. They have even inspired children’s games and been used as spell components in magical charms. Drawing together traditional knowledge from archives and oral histories with the work of many of Scotland’s finest botanical artists, this book is a celebration of the wealth of Scottish plant lore.
