I know of a craft shop in Letham, Angus (abt 7 miles outside of Forfar) owned by the STURROCK family. Don't know the exact address, but I guess: The STURROCK Family, The Craft Shop Letham Angus would get them! Forfar (and Letham are in the Lowlands) - but only just! From the road between Letham and Forfar you can see the escarpment of the Highland Fault Line, just a few miles to the north. The quietness of Letham village is often broken by the local Royal Air Force fighters training as they head in VERY low over the village to the breaks in the hills (of the Highlands) just miles away.
