{"product_id":"alice-serape-auld-scotland","title":"Alice Serape - Auld Scotland","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lochcarron of Scotland Lambswool Serape is the ultimate Winter-Spring essential. Worn over the shoulders like a cape the serape can be layered over jumpers or worn over a coat, it is key for casual dressing as well as being a stunning accessory for weddings or throwing over the shoulder with evening wear. It is the perfect addition to any wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLochcarron produced this tartan in January 2008, around the anniversary of the National Bard, Robert Burns. Wishing to mark his 250th anniversary to be celebrated the following year, the name Auld Scotland was inspired by the modern version of his toast to the Haggis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colours used are reminiscent of those associated with the Ayrshire countryside. The pale Yellow which is strongly featured recognises the importance of the barley used to create Scotland's National drink, whisky, traditionally used to toast the Haggis, which has itself a base of golden oats. Although Burns, being a Lowlander, would have been unlikely to wear tartan, had Auld Scotland been in existence, we feel sure he would have enjoyed wearing such a design, as would his 'drouthy cronies’ whilst perhaps gathering for a haggis supper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuld Scotland is quoted in the following final verse of the immortal toast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYe Pow's wha mak mankind your care,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd dish them out their bill o' fare,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuld Scotland wants nae shinking ware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat jaups in luggies;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, if you wish her gratefu' pray'r,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGie her a Haggis!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTartan:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAuld Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e140cm x 180cm (55\" x 70\") including roped fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Lambswool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWash Care Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDry Clean Only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade proudly  in the heart of the Scottish Borders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lochcarron of Scotland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56613358535037,"sku":"LS-ALI-LOC-37590","price":155.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4086\/8654\/files\/absr-aus-auld-scotland-lambswool-serape-front-studio-72dpi-rgb_6e5f57f6-f958-4637-86b1-8e3c9562692a.jpg?v=1754298462","url":"https:\/\/www.thelongship.co.uk\/products\/alice-serape-auld-scotland","provider":"The Longship ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
