Clan Hunter’s Preferred online Stores and Merchandise

 ** Your first place for "Clan Hunter" items should be http://www.clan-hunter.com/ **

Over the past few months, I have been asked by many companies to add a “link” to our site. After careful scrutiny (looking at how well their site was laid out, how the shipping was calculated, there over all price and Scottish interest) these are the ones I have found to be acceptable. Please support them when you can and make them your first stop should you need a gift, want a certain item or just want something new! Right now there are not many that have “passed” my test, but I am sure the list will grow bigger. Clan Hunter does not profit from these links. They are being placed on this site in the true spirit of one person helping another!

 

The Celtic Exchange: http://www.celticexchange.com/

This lovely little shop is located in Lewisburg , PA and I have actually been here! Unfortunately they were closed, but from the windows…. this is an awesome shop filled with various trinkets, hair accessories, leather work, sculptures, t-shirts (the list goes on and on), all “promoting young Celtic craftspeople who specialize in pre-seventh century Celtic and Pictish designs on various mediums.”

 

Waterfall Glen: http://daviehenderson.bravehost .com/

This is a newly released novel by David Henderson. This description is from his site, but I am waiting for my very own copy and will put my own review up for you as soon as I am done.

“When Kate Brodie inherits Waterfall Glen it seems like the start of an exciting new life. Full of romantic notions, she swaps her dull routine in San Francisco for life as a Highland lady.

However the glen’s beauty belies a troubled history and uncertain future, and Kate’s imposing new home, Greystane House, is full of disturbing revelations about her family’s past. Each portrait on the ancient walls tells an un-nerving story, while the empty rooms echo with rumors of a centuries-old curse. The old rumors take on chilling new significance when the glen comes under threat, for Kate seems powerless to stop history repeating itself, and the loss of all she holds dear.

The only person she can turn to for help is Cameron Fraser—a man seeking solace in lonely places after a shattering experience which has robbed him of all faith in human nature. Kate has every reason to doubt him yet no choice but to trust him, and soon they are more than simply friends. Only by finding a way to defend old values against the materialism of the modern world can they give their love a chance, lay their ghosts to rest and save Waterfall Glen.”

 

Targemaker Targes: http://www.targemaker.co.uk/

Hand-craft high-quality reproductions of original Scottish Targes, of the Jacobite era, that are based closely on actual originals, in museums or private collections. All have been researched by the maker in person. Currently 19 different styles… The CULLODEN is my favorite!
