ST13- Silver Small Scottish Bluebells Pendant (Round) from Shetland Jewellery

The Bluebell of Scotland

The Scottish bluebell is a blue “bell” shaped wild flower which blooms across the Scottish hillsides in spring, forming the illusion of a blue carpet between the trees. In Scottish folklore fairies were thought to live in the flowers and the bluebells were known as “Fairy Bells”

Many a song and poem have been written about the Scottish Bluebell. Here is an extract from a popular poem

The rose, summer's emblem,'tis England's chosen tree

And France decks her shield with the stately Fluer-de-lis

But brighter, fairer far than these

There blooms a flower for me, On Scotland's grassy lea

Where from the dark, up springs the lark

The rising sun to see!

Where from the dark, up springs the lark

The rising sun to see!
