This advertisement invites us to explore the wondrous collection of brooches crafted by James Aitchison, the esteemed manufacturer of National Scottish Jewellery. Featuring birds shot in the majestic Highlands of Scotland, these brooches are a testament to the rich heritage and tradition of Scottish craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously mounted in gold and silver, showcasing the intricate details of the birds' plumage and claws. The brooches are further enhanced by the addition of Scotch Cairngorms stones, adding a touch of elegance and allure. The blackcock, with its striking feathers and distinctive red wattles, takes center stage in this advertisement. Its claws, delicately rendered in gold and silver, are a symbol of strength and good luck. The other birds, including the grouse and the pheasant, are also depicted in all their glory, each one a work of art in its own right.
