Scottish Plant Lore: An Illustrated Flora

Scotland's plants define its landscape, from the heather moorlands to the weeds and garden plants of its towns and cities. The book "Scottish Plant Lore" brings together a wealth of knowledge, combining traditional knowledge from archives and oral histories with the work of some of the country's finest botanical artists. This book celebrates the richness of Scottish plant lore. Dr. Gregory Kenicer, a botanist, lecturer, and author at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, has also written popular books such as "Dictionary of Scottish Plant Names" and "Plant Magic."

Plants have shaped Scotland's domestic economy and culture, providing resources for agriculture and industry, as well as food, drink, and medicines. They have inspired children's games and been used in magical charms.
