Heather

Heather moor, White heather, Purple heather

Heather carpets the open hills and moors of Scotland and northern England, turning whole slopes purple in late summer. It's a tough little shrub that thrives on poor, windy ground, so a heather dream often speaks of resilience and beauty in plain places. Walking through it under a wide sky can feel like freedom, solitude and room to think. Its warm, honeyed scent may stir up memories of trips, or of somewhere you've always wanted to go. Heather was once used for brooms, bedding and thatch, a reminder to make the most of what you have.
