We will learn the art of dyeing with indigo from Lindsay Roberts, a.k.a. the Border Tart, enjoy a rich evening of storytelling as well as many evenings (and days) of fine Scottish food. A Rowan Tree trip wouldn't be complete without visits to local fibre artists and mills, some farms and gardens. Explore the sights of the Scottish Borders with us as we go to castles and museums and learn some amazing history. Did we mention that you can live like a Lady or Lord? We will be indulging ourselves and staying in some fine manor homes!
