About The Phoenix

Immortal, powerful, the mighty Phoenix rising from the fire symbolises regeneration and hope, born of great experience and knowledge dating back to the time of Creation.

Allied to the sun which ripens the grain, the Phoenix spreads its wings and soars above the mountains and valleys of Scotland, generating new life, healing and harmony from the ashes of old -

now golden and strong,

familiar yet aged,

fresh yet everlasting. 

A creature of contrasts and surprises; a primal force reborn and continually renewed.
