Our Tweed Clootie Purse is perfect for keeping loose change together and features The Real Mary King's Close tartan, which was created by Kinloch Anderson to commemorate the attraction's 10th anniversary back in 2013.
The red highlights the city's royal connections and bloody history, while the white line symbolises the Scottish Enlightenment, a time of great growth and prosperity for Edinburgh. This scarf is perfect for any occasion and a beautiful way to display the heritage of Mary King's Close.
The purse is stitched in Helensburgh, Scotland. "Clootie" is an Old Scots for a cloth, often pouch shaped, used to hold precious things. It's also associated with Clootie Dumpling, a delicious treat on high days and holidays.
