Fisherrow scarf
Fisherrow is a small stone harbour along the coast from Edinburgh that once boasted a bustling fishing community. It’s also where we picked up our little boat Guga and set sail with her down the Firth of Forth on our maiden voyage. This scarf reminds me of spinnaker sails on sailboats. They’re large, light, and often brightly coloured sails that attach at three points on the bow of a boat. This scarf is a fun way to play with colour and to add a pop of something bright to your day.
