Monteviot House is the early 18th century home of the Marquess of Lothian, the politician better known as Michael Ancram. It is located on the River Teviot near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland.
I really wanted to keep my design ideas easy simple. Using the flowers and herbs that I had seen on my visit for the house, I thought an artisan soap and hand cream would be the best and easiest choice. While we were visiting the house gardener's were busy working and I felt from the little chat we had that the knowledge and hard work they do year round should be recognised.
What is on the market?

I think using the colours of the house and stones I seen on the walks around the grounds as a base starting point I'm going to keep a traditional patterned design. I do like the work of William Morris and will also keep his work in mind. For now however I do need to look at herbs and botanical work so as to keep within a brief.
The brambles, rose garden, skimmia
