Galloway, known as Scotland’s Best Kept Secret, boasts some of the most spectacular unspoilt scenery in the UK from rocky coves, secluded beaches, deep forests, rolling hills and magnificent sunsets.
The Galloway Forest Park is designated as the first DarkSkyPark in the country, covering some 300 square miles of the least polluted sky in the UK.
Inspired by the stunning beauty of the area Hippidippies have created The Galloway Collection.
A range of individually hand made candles available scented or unscented in a choice of sizes and shapes.

"When Ailsa Craig has on its coat,
The Weather will be very hot.
When Ailsa Craig has on its hat,
You can be sure it will be wet.
When Ailsa Craig has on its tie,
That's a sign its going to be dry"

Yes we know Ailsa Craig is actually in South Ayshire but as we are the proud owners of two curling stones which sit in our cottage garden we couldn’t resist including this in the collection.

Ailsa Craig is situated approximately 10 miles west of Girvan and is the plug of an extinct volcano rising out of the Firth of Clyde forming the dome shaped island. The blue hone micro-granitewas famously quarried there to produce curling stones indeed most curling stones still used today were made from Ailsa Craig granite. The island is now a bird sanctuary.
