It is always difficult to come up with the perfect Christmas gift for those you love. You want to choose the perfect gift that will make the recipient ooh and ah when they open the package. 

Why not give your family and friends a taste of Scotland for Christmas this year by buying them some Scottish themed Christmas gifts? Even if they have never been to Scotland or don't have relatives or ancestors who were Scottish, many people appreciate a touch of the Celtic.

Everyone likes to have a little bit of Scotland and these gifts have something for everyone.There are gifts for decorating your Christmas tree, gifts for the dinner table, gifts for those who love music, a cookbook and even a gift for baby.


Christmas Tree Ornaments

Saint Margaret of Scotland was the wife of Malcolm III. She was canonized because of her dedication to her Church. She spend her days praying and founded several churches. She is said to have fortold the day of her death.

This Christmas ornament can have a very special place on the tree of a religious friend or family member.


This is another Christmas tree ornament that will look great on anyone's tree. It is a Scotty dog in a sleigh

The Scottish Terrier is very strongly identified with Scotland and the breed was developed in the early 1600s . It is also known as the Skye Terrier and the Aberdeen Terrier. For more information read this article at Scottish culture.


Celtic Legends

The history and mythology fans on your Christmas gift list might like this DVD set. It features Celtic legends from Scotland and Ireland, and the Arthurian legends.

The 3 DVD set (one for each type of legends) includes reenactments of the legends, art, film of historical locations, analysis and commentary by experts in the field.


Scottish Terrier Salt and Pepper Shakers

Your friends who are dog lovers might get a kick out of this Scottish themed gift. Scottish Terrier owners love their dogs with a passion and what better Christmas gift for them than this humorous set.

The Scottish Terrier is an very recognizable emblem of Scotland. One of the most famous Scottish Terrier's was Greyfriars Bobby; his was truly a story of man's best friend.

Scottish Recipes

While Scottish food has a bad reputation for some people; however, it has some of the tastiest and most satisfying food of any cuisine.And it is not just all fried Mars bars and haggis.

This cookbook features recipes for some truly magnificent Scottish meals. Among the recipes included in this book are Cock-A-Leekie Soup, Dundee Marmalade, Scots Trifle, and, yes, Haggis. Includes a glossary and a short history of Scotland.


If It's Not Scottish It's Crap T-shirt

This is a good Christmas gift to give to a friend with a new baby. It's never too early to indoctrinate a child into believe that everything Scottish is the best.

This one-piece features the phrase made famous by Mike Myers on Saturday Night Live: "If it's not Scottish, it's crap!" This will bring a smile to a parent's lips when they see this on Christmas morning.

Some very cool stuff here, UW. As a Scott meself, I get a little connection with my ancestors by wearing tartan-patterned, knee-length shorts (yes, I'm a long-shorts wearing fool - maybe that's the scottish in me). They're even wool! Sorta. Actually flannel, but close enough for this highlander.

They're really just knee-length shorts. Like everybody wears. But they're tartan patterned. You've probably seen other guys wearing them already.

Susan, nice hub but I have a question about Scottish Fold cats. Are they basically tortoise shells? It's hard to tell for sure from the picture but the colouring looks the same.

Thanks Shirley.

Scottish Fold cats can come in many colours, some are solid colours.

I found this quote:

"The Scottish Fold Cats are found in a variety of coats and patterns. The Solid cats are white, black, blue, red, cream, blue-silver, or blue-cream. The silver cats are chinchilla or shaded. The golden cats are chinchilla or shaded. The cameo cats are shell or shaded. The smoke cats are black, blue, or cameo. The tabby pattern cats are classic, mackerel, spotted, ticked, or patched. The tabby cats are silver, blue-silver, blue-silver patched, red, brown, blue, cream, or cameo. The cats can also be tortoiseshell, calico, dilute calico, or bi-color"
