The Luckenbooth symbol is a traditional Scottish design dating back to 1700. The heart pattern was developed as a token of love and takes its name from the Luckenbooth (locked booths) around St. Giles Kirk in Edinburgh where the charms were sold.

The pieces in the Luckenbooth Glass and China range carry traditional Scottish and Irish designs. These feature amongst others, wildlife, stately homes, castles, and town and clan crests. Most notable is the famous thistle design exclusive to ourselves.

Commissions are undertaken and we are only too happy to discuss these with you. Celtic and Irish designs are also available on request.

As we are a small family business, we are extremely flexible and you can rest assured that every effort is made to provide consistent quality at affordable prices.

All items are hand crafted for you in Moffat in beautiful South West Scotland.

Viking invasions of Scotland were carried out for almost 500 years. After many unsuccesful daylight attacks the invaders planned a suprise attack in darkness. They crept, barefoot, before dawn, towards the Scottish defenders.

Fortunately for the Scots, one Viking stood on a Thistle and his agonised cry of pain roused the defenders who set upon the foe and the few survivors fled to their longships. From that day the Thistle became the emblem of Scotland.
