The Coorie Home  –  Beautiful Scottish Living by Beth Pearson was published in 2019, possibly as a sort of reply to that Scandinavian Hygge book that was around about then, but this one is more intense.

I borrowed the book from the library and I did think that I would probably just dip into parts of it, but I read it cover to cover, it’s an interesting read which is informative and also attractive, with lots of eye candy type photographs.

For anyone looking for Scottish made homewares or arty crafty things there are plenty of pointers to help you track things down, and there are even some Scottish recipes. The contents are wide ranging, I really enjoyed it. The photographs are by Ciara Menzies and the book was published by Black and White Publishing.

I must say that the only time I’ve heard the word ‘coorie’ is in that Scottish phrase ‘coorie doon’ often said in the past  (I’m not sure about nowadays) to children at bedtime meaning ‘snuggle down, get comfy and cosy.’
