Fàilte!/Halò!/Welcome!

I'm Claire MacKay Marcello, medical herbalist, massage therapist, ethnobotanical researcher, writer, columnist and founder of Herbal Heritage Scotland.
Since graduating from Edinburgh Napier University, all educational courses in Scotland offering qualifications in Medical Herbalism have unfortnately undergone closure.
It has become a matter close to my heart to maintain research and to collate many of the existing resources and available research including a wealth of Gaelic literature and orally collected accounts that is the very roots of a tradition, traceable in our Scottish heritage as far back as 5000 years ago.
Our native plants have preserved humankind down the centuries, and it is my intention, not only to use the skills I have gained to heal people naturally, within our communities, but also to preserve the carefully cultivated plant knowledge of our Scottish   heritage.           

Slàn Leibh/Good Health to you!
