Purple Sage Scotland
Award-winning sustainable skincare crafted with Scottish luxury botanicals.
A little garden inspiration from our visit to Priorwood Garden. National Trust Garden
Tucked within the ancient precinct of Melrose Abbey, Priorwood is a beautiful walled garden with a wonderfully rich history.
What makes it particularly special to us is its tradition of growing flowers and herbs specifically for drying, a tradition the garden team are now working to bring back to life.
For a botanical skincare maker, there is something rather magical about wandering through a garden where plants have long been grown not only for their beauty but for their usefulness too.
We loved exploring the herbaceous borders, the gravel garden, the orchard and the quieter woodland areas, the orchard is home to more than 70 heritage varieties of apple, grown organically, making it a particularly lovely place to pause and appreciate Scotland’s gardening heritage.
Gardens like Priorwood remind us why we love working with plants so much. Every plant has a story, a purpose and a place in the landscape.
A beautiful day of botanical inspiration in the Scottish Borders.

Rosemary & Tea Tree | Solid Shampoo Bar Collection | 70g
Tea tree and rosemary are not subtle. They arrive, get on with things and leave the scalp feeling properly clean which is exactly what a hardworking shampoo bar should do.
Tea tree essential oil brings its crisp, herbaceous clarity. Rosemary adds green depth and keeps things from tipping into sharpness. Together they make a wash that feels purposeful and thorough without being harsh.
The base of coconut oil, cocoa seed butter, argan oil, olive oil and jojoba oil, with panthenol and plant-based phytokeratin, ensures hair is conditioned as it's cleansed. Sodium cocoyl isethionate gives a generous, clean-rinsing lather that respects the scalp.
Made in small batches at Sage Cottage. For hair that works as hard as the rest of you

Where the hills roll gently, the trees whisper in the breeze and the landscape seems to slow everything down. The Scottish Borders at their most beautiful.

EVERY PLANT TELLS A STORY: CALENDULA
Bright, cheerful and incredibly useful, calendula is one of those plants that deserves a place in every garden.
Its sunny flowers bring a splash of colour to the borders while also attracting pollinators and providing beautiful petals that can be gathered and dried for all sorts of natural creations.
For us, calendula is particularly special because it connects the garden with our botanical soap making. Those beautiful golden petals can become part of the story behind a handmade bar of soap, taking something grown in the garden and bringing it into our everyday self-care.
Calendula has a long history of traditional use in skincare and is often loved for its gentle, soothing qualities.
From seed to flower and from garden to handmade soap, every calendula plant has a story to tell.
And sometimes the most beautiful stories are growing quietly right outside the garden gate.
Have you grown calendula in your garden?

Dandelions might be the most stubborn flowers in the garden, but we think that is part of their charm.
Those bright yellow blooms that appear along paths, lawns and field edges can also have a place in botanical soapmaking. Dandelion has a long history of traditional herbal use and brings plenty of botanical interest to a handmade bar.
Our Dandy Dandelion soap combines dandelion and calendula flowers with kaolin clay for a gentle cleanse. Olive oil, coconut oil and shea butter create a creamy, conditioning lather that leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Then there is the scent.
Sweet orange and lemon essential oils bring a vibrant citrus fragrance that is bright, clean and wonderfully sunny. It feels like the first warm day of the year captured in a bar of soap.
Cold-processed in small batches at Sage Cottage and wrapped in plastic-free packaging.
Sometimes the plants we overlook are the ones worth noticing.
