Provenance

We saw this wee brooch for sale on e-bay for a couple of pounds and thought it looked very much like a Davie Glen production which we already have in the collection. We can’t be 100% sure but it is very similar... see picture opposite
Davie was a character who spent much of his life wandering around the Scottish mountains and seems to have made brooches to earn a few pennies to fund his impecunious lifestyle. We have lots more of his ‘mountain folk art’ in the collection along with a wee archive...check it out.

Other Davie Glen items can be found by doing a quick search of his name
