Lesser Spotted Images
We're proud to say our brand new "Signs Of Scotland" tea towel will be launching at STFS25! This 100% cotton tea towel features 24 of the most unusal, funny & sometimes downright rude village & road names that Scotland has to offer. Did you know you can go Pottie on Mull or get Lost in Aberdeenshire?! Or be a Star in Fife or act Glam on Raasay?!
Exhibiting back at Scotland's Trade Fair Spring for the first time since 2023, Lesser Spotted Images are proud to bring their quirky cards & gifts back to Scotland!
After winning Best New Product at STFS 2009 with 24 greeting cards called "Lesser Spotted Britain", the range has grown to 150 cards, 2 books, 24 mugs, 100+ coasters, 6 tea towels and more. The cards & mugs all feature a monochrome photo of a village road sign on the front & the back has a map showing the location of the village along with the etymology explaining the origins of the name. So it's amusing & educational in turns!
So, what are you likely to see from Lesser Spotted Britain?! Expect Carry-on rudity with the likes of Twatt, Bell End, Lady Gardens & Ginge to name a few! You'l learn that Twatt - which is found on both Orkney & Shetland - comes from the Old Norse "Thveit" meaning "a cleared place". And who knew that Ginge comes from the Old English word Goegian which means "to turn"?!
