This was recognised in 1901 when the company was bestowed a Royal Warrant of Appointment. Designs and pattern are numerous and Royal Doulton employed many artists for their creations which range from tableware to vases, toilets, bottles, figurines and much more... Some history: The thistle is the national flower of Scotland. Legend has it that when a Viking raiding party landed, some of the raiders stepped on thistles and their screams alerted the Scots to their presence.

Glamis Castle, in Scotland, was the childhood home of The Queen Mother. Originally a hunting lodge in the 1300s, in present day it looks more like a French Chateau. The castle is also referred to in Shakespeare's Macbeth. It is reputed to be haunted and there are many tales connected to it's bloody past... It is said that King Malcolm II was murdered there.

Of course, Scotland has many such legends and myths mixed with romantic stories! So now you have some conversation with your cup of tea!!
