Spend 48 Hours in Edinburgh with Strathberry

To celebrate the opening of our new Atelier space, nestled in our Edinburgh Townhouse, we hosted six inspirational women in our home city of Edinburgh, who each embody the spirit of Strathberry through their work and cultural influence.

The trip paid homage to the city we call home, and to the artisanal crafts that Strathberry is built upon.

The trip celebrated our Scottish roots and craftsmanship; blending tradition and craft, celebrating our beautiful surroundings and how they inspire the brand.

The first evening, guests were welcomed to the Scottish capital with a dinner hosted at Gleneagles Townhouse:
