Incredible face from the past - what is transferware pottery? Scottish Mudlarking

Join us on a mudlarking adventure in the Victorian Holiday Resort of Lundin Links. We find beautiful, and dramatic, transferware; gorgeous tiny sea-shells to fill old dug utility bottles with tiny shells; and we take a look at the history of this remarkable Scottish coastal village, in the East Neuk of Fife.

We return to Lundin Links, a beautiful coastal village that was largely constructed to accommodate Victorian tourists. This is where we talked about the Selkie Folk, and, when we were last here, the megaliths/standing stones that have stood for thousands of years! Today, we want say a little about Lundin Links the holiday resort, just to bring things together from several of our videos from this part of the coast.


You have asked us about transferware on several occasions, so we dip into that subject today - we will follow this information up in two weeks when we take a closer look at the subject. Its a great day to talk about transferware because we finds an amazing pictorial piece featuring a very clear, and a wee bit creepy, face! We think its one of the best pieces of transferware we have ever found!


There are so many really beautiful and tiny wee shells around our feet today, so we decide to collect and pile them up - they are so pretty we decide to take the smallest ones home with us and pop them into some very old, dug, utility bottles! They look so sweet that we decided to bottle up a some of the other very small things we find around our coast - sea glass, and coal dust! They look great!


Nicole takes a few of the pieces we collected today and gets to work turning them into gorgeous items of jewellery!

We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

--Update on Scotland's COVID restrictions--
We continue to follow restrictions so that we can work safely, responsibly, and legally.

Guidelines in Scotland have now changed. We are now free to travel throughout Scotland and meet with up to 6 others.

--Our policies--

- Since March 2020, we have met with no one at all - and we continued to isolate even when restrictions were relaxed.

- We never film in a busy location - aside from maintaining isolation, we could not make restful, calming, or relaxing content in a busy area.

- Since March 2020 we have restricted our travel to distances that allow us to get to our location, film our content, and return home, without ever visiting local amenities, entering any buildings etc. This gives us a reasonable window to work in while also maintaining that we are not out for very long.

- We only film once a week, and we always do that mid-week. If we arrive in an area and people are present, we leave without getting out of the car.

Our policies are simple and entirely concerned with maintaining social distancing so that we can be safe and so that we can ensure the safety of others. We will continue to follow these policies fully, and we will cease outdoor filming altogether should government guidance change.
