Beautiful scarf, and interesting historical information! I have been tempted but not pulled the trigger for a red and blue CW, solely based on my love for Scotland and the islands in particular :-)

I have seen very few photos of all the cws for this scarf so I can only guess that it wasn't very popular. Let me know if you ever get the red one eliwon!

Not a Kermit Oliver but feathered nonetheless. Just received today. This is one of those purchases that was just meant to be - Fleurs d'Ecosse by Sylvia Kerr. Firstly, it is the same base colours as my husband's tartan. Secondly, I love Scottish history. Thirdly, it goes perfectly with my victorian stone brooch (these were originally purchased in the 1800s and 1900s by tourists to Scotland) and newer luckenbooth brooch which I bought last year (see pic below). Luckenbooths were once used as a talisman against witchcraft and my gggg-grandfather was a warlock in the Highlands so, again, the scarf speaks to me on another level. Finally, the circular layouts are reminiscent of old Scottish targes, or shields, used by the Highlanders in battle so again reminding me of my more northern roots. All in all a very meaningful scarf to me and one I am delighted to own. Got it at a great price too, which always puts a smile on my face!
I haven't seen this scarf on here since I joined and was wondering if anybody has any of the other cws? The tartan is perfect for autumn! One of the pics shows the traditional feathered brooches that were made with silver and Scottish bird feathers. You could get them made with rabbit feet too but thankfully H didn't use them in this design!

I love everything about this post! Thank you so much for sharing a bit of the history. As a “heart” lover, I especially love the gorgeous brooch. Normally I wouldn’t be attracted to this design, but after your modeling and explanation, I would love to own one. Strong and fabulous!

Pautinka, I have the pink/orange color way and love it. I’ve seen a red/white/blue color way but never seen the green you have. It is lovely!!! Here’s my Fleurs. It is third from the right. IMG_1511224013.531240.jpg

Loved your post, Pautinka! I have a Fleurs d'Ecosse in green & orange, I think. I have a lot of books on Victorian jewelry but there is nothing like someone who really knows the history and collects to explain stuff. My prize Scottish agate brooch has a simple design: 3 lobes making up a fan shape. No extraneous metal work. Wore this brooch to Edinburgh and an antique jewelry dealer said it was a representation of the Prince of Wales ostrich feathers. The dealer I got it from in Georgetown a while back did not have much of any interpretation as I remember.
My other agates are small, nothing special, but I do like to see hardstone being used, the colors are pretty.
You''re referring to grouse feathers, right?
Question about cairngorms: sometimes I see these as very orangey (like burnt orange) citrines and sometimes (less often) they are smoky quartz. I am not sure I like the orangey color with the muted agates (maybe I've just seen mediocre examples). Which is the "authentic" color, or are both used?
Scottish agate bracelets are another interesting item. Twenty years ago specialist antique dealers would have a huge table displaying such bracelets. Now, they are HTF -- and I guess the best examples would be in gold. Or are good examples made in silver, like the rest of the SA jewelry?
I passed on getting an antique Luckenbooth in favor of a clan brooch or two b/c I had really never seen them before. (I am not Scottish). Luckenbooths are sometimes called witches hearts if the heart is curved a certain way, right? It's been explained to me what they mean but I forgot. Those are cool.
