The elusive combination of rugged good looks, poetic soul, tender heart and the almost unbearable sense of honour; ach, aye, the exceedingly rare genus veritas Scoti homo sapien. Understandably, everywoman, regardless of where she lives or her age, seeks to have her very own True Scotsman. I have a theory about this, it only takes one. So with 4.5 million natives and roughly half that being male, coupled with a declining birth rate, a lass has a pretty good chance if she's in the right place at the right time - say, come summer at the Common Ridings or Murrayfield on any given Sunday.

If that doesn't work for you, a perfect-in-every-detail to scale Clansman doll, coupled with daily affirmations might do the trick. Whether you are looking for a modern man or his time traveling forefather, both are offered. If you tell us about the texture and colour of hair and eye colour of your man Mary will make the doll that looks just like him in contemporary or 17th century attire. Each comes wearing the tartan of your choice (woven in scale to the doll) and created expressively for you - who says the perfect man is hard to find? Over thirty hours go into the making of each doll, you've waited this long to find him you can wait a little longer.

17th Century Clansman's costume consists of:

• a long linen shirt which ties at the neck and the sleeves have buttoned cuffs
• a short woollen jacket with buttoned front and cuffs
• a tartan plaid fastened around the waist with a leather belt, onto the shoulder with a clan brooch each of which has been designed by Mary Buchanan
• hose covering his legs and feet and wears traditional leather shoes
• historically accurate accessories including a knitted bonnet made from natural coloured handspun wool, a targe, a basket-hilted sword, dirk and a leather sporran, complete with a small bag of oatmeal

Velvet-lined handmade wooden presentation box accompanies, a certificate providing details for each clan and edition number of the doll is also enclosed.

Important to note; the Clansman doll is not a toy. The dolls have porcelain limbs and head with a soft sculptured body and internal wire armature, so the doll can stand and the arm position altered. The faces are carefully hand painted and the beard & eyebrows are made from mohair. Since some of the accessories could cause injury if played with, they are not suitable for children. Cadadh or Thistle & Broom will not be held responsible for any injury caused as a result of misuse.
