Vintage Story of Scotland Souvenir Tea Towel - Glen Appin - Edinburgh Castle Bagpiper Highland Cow Whisky Golf - UK Made

Humorous Scottish souvenir tea towel with a theological punchline.

The Story of Scotland text retells the  legend of God describing Scotland's magnificent gifts to the Archangel Gabriel: majestic mountains, soaring eagles, salmon-filled streams, whisky, golf courses, and North Sea oil. When Gabriel asks whether God isn't being a bit too generous to the Scots, the Almighty replies: "Not really, wait until you see the neighbours I'M giving them!!!"

Surrounding the text are illustrated vignettes capturing the Scottish icons - Edinburgh Castle, a Highland piper in full tartan, shaggy Highland cattle, a Scottie dog, a salmon fisherman, a whisky still, an oil rig, a golfer, and more. 

Stamped along the bottom edge: All Cotton / Glen Appin Regd TT705 / Made in U.K.

Glen Appin was a well-known Scottish souvenir textile manufacturer based in Glasgow, and their tea towels are a beloved Scottish collectibles. This one shows all the signs of having been tucked away as a keepsake rather than used in the manner God intended.
