Behold The Hour, The Boat Arrive - To A Funky Scottish Bard...


Behold the hour, the boat arrive;
Thou goest, the darling of my heart;
Sever'd from thee, can I survive,
But Fate has will'd and we must part.
I'll often greet the surging swell,
Yon distant Isle will often hail:
"E'en here I took the last farewell;
There, latest mark'd her vanish'd sail."
Along the solitary shore,
While flitting sea-fowl round me cry,
Across the rolling, dashing roar,
I'll westward turn my wistful eye:
"Happy thou Indian grove," I'll say,
"Where now my Nancy's path may be!
While thro' thy sweets she loves to stray,
O tell me, does she muse on me!"
Behold The Hour, The Boat Arrive - Robert Burns

This Sunday, we celebrate Burns Night, so it seemed fitting to share a poem by the famous Scottish bard! We love the sea-faring spirit of one of his romantic poems, 'Behold The Hour, The Boat Arrives'.

We've chosen this image of a coastal inspired hand-painted ceramic plate - created by
Karen Edward @ Funky Scottish - to compliment his words!

Now, we just need to add a hearty serving of haggis, neeps and tatties...

Happy Burns Night! xo

Gone In A Flash! 10 Years of Marriage For Master Of The Racing Track...


Flash...Master of The Racing Track!

Scotland's very own Flash Gordon - aka British Touring Car Champion Gordon Shedden - has just gone  
speeding past another milestone...his 10th wedding anniversary. 

As a way to mark the occasion, Karen Edward @ Funky Scottish was commissioned to create an original, bespoke hand-painted ceramic plate for the driver and his lovely wife Jillian.

As they say, time flies when you're having fun...

Happy Anniversary Gordon and Jillian,

Best wishes from team at Funky Scottish
