Common Gorse Bookmark
Gorse is a spiky, evergreen shrub that is common across the Scottish landscape. It’s particularly notable for its vibrant yellow flowers, which bloom from late winter through spring. The flowers emit a distinctive coconut-like fragrance, which is especially strong on warm days.
Gorse thrives in Scotland’s varied environments, often dominating open landscapes, hillsides, and moorlands. Its dense, thorny thickets provide excellent shelter for wildlife, including birds and small mammals. In Scottish folklore, gorse is associated with both protection and fertility. It was sometimes planted around homes as a natural barrier, believed to ward off witches and evil spirits.
Lovingly designed by local artist Highland Rose Designs, this vibrant double-sided bookmark celebrates the golden glow of Common Gorse (Conasg), a plant deeply woven into Highland landscapes and lore. Created right here in Fort William, it’s a bright and beautiful token for nature lovers and readers alike.
