A Visit to Kellie Castle: Stitching Together Past and Present

Описание: A few weeks ago, I spent the day at Kellie Castle in Fife — a place that’s meant a great deal to me over the years.

In this video, I talk about the layers of history in the house and garden, my first visit at 17, and how the Laurimer family filled the castle with art, embroidery and slow-making. I also talk about how this garden has become a refuge in difficult seasons of my life — a place to breathe, observe, and remember what's steady.

Whether you're interested in Scottish history, embroidery, garden design or simply seeking a moment of peace, I hope this visit offers you something quiet and grounding.

🪡 If you're curious about the lives of creative women, arts and crafts homes, or the slow rhythm of gardens — this one’s for you.

Watch now, and let me know if you’ve ever had a place like Kellie.

Hello, I’m Jane — a textile artist rooted in nature, based in Scotland, living a quiet and intentional life. I believe that creativity is for everyone, that there’s power in going gently, and that our daily lives should be full of joy and connection.

Each Friday, I post a new video here — musings on creativity, nature, chronic illness, and the beautifully crooked path of living life a little differently.

Do come and say hello. I’d truly love to meet you.
