News and Events
Luckenbooths
The term ‘luckenbooth’ is commonly used to describe heart brooches in Scotland. The word refers to the locked booths or shops that formed the goldsmithing and jewellery quarter in Edinburgh’s Old Town, where it is believed that many of these brooches were made until the booths were torn down in 1817.

The words that come to mind when describing the work of Norman Grant are ‘colour’ and ‘nature’ (and perhaps even psychedelic art nouveau), but as Norman said in his 1970 Scotsman interview, his Highland heritage was intrinsic to his art.
