luckenbooth

This is a scottish brooch which has a double heart and a crown on top. I work at the battlefield at Culloden and this would be a nice talking point because it is what a jacobite lad would give his lady. Since I am not getting paid for this I don't want to spend too much on this. But would love one as a talking point

I would have thought there would be jewellers, kilt shops or gift shops in Inverness that would stock these.

Through Google I've managed to find a few on websites. Silver ones seem to be around the £50 mark, like this one:

These are a bit cheaper, but have a stone in the middle:

A pewter ones - cheaper still:

I've never used any of the above websites, so don't know how reliable they are.

Typing "luckenbooth" into Ebay got 2 pages of results, so you could consider that too.

I absolutely love the pewter one and it is a nice price as well, but would prefer to get it at under £10. But I really love the pewter one.:j

Try the victorian market in town.I've seen them in one of the jewellery shops there- maybe the silversmiths next to the barbers shop?

Tried every shop in Inverness. Not wanting to spend more than a tenner because I am only a volunteer.

Went into a tiny Scottish shop looking for presents others. Happened to ask about the luckenbooth and low and behold she had one. It is £2 and very lovely. Nice price and lovely brooch. Thanks to all who helped. :money:
