Nook Melrose

Nook Melrose Delightful shop in Melrose Scottish Borders - beautiful gifts, crafty gifts and art supplies

Blackadder Candles, Borders Aromatics, Natural Crafts and Lavender bunch are divisions and trading names for Sco Logic Ltd. Blackadder Candles was initially started in 2009 as a wholesale addition to a hobby based home craft startup in 2008 operating as a trading name for Borders Aromatics. As a section of Borders Aromatics it was soon apparent that Blackadder Candles was a rapidly developing busi

ness and this lead to the 'blackadder' trading name and brand becoming a division of our family business Sco Logic Ltd. This change also brought the Borders Aromatics brand to become part of Sco Logic. The restructure has since aided business growth, and lead to a separate craft division office being established in 2011. Since 2011 the craft division has grown further incorporating new brands such as Blackadder Botanicals, the lavender bunch, dried roses and confetticonfetti to service the various vertical markets and make it easier for customers.

2014 saw staff numbers increase, and further natural dried nature based products become added to the catalogue and further expansion of the Borders Aromatics brand launching the Aroma Range.

2015 moved the business to new premises in Lauder where the company opened it's first retail outlet and restructured a number of the brands into the new and more appropriate name 'Natural Crafts'. Further investment in staff has also introduced our own in house product designer, and produce a larger range of products and craft kits. Regardless of division we are a quality supply company, specialized in working and supporting small to medium sized businesses and hobbiests. As time progresses our catalogue expands in quality not quantity of items, something different than our competitors.

Not quite summer. Not quite autumn. Just the Scottish Borders doing their thing

There’s something about this little bit in between that we love - late-summer light, green hills, golden grasses, old stone walls and that first hint that the seasons are about to change

So we’ve teamed up with Oakford Media, otherwise known as my amazing Dad, on a project to capture a little bit of that magic in a collection of postcards celebrating the beautiful Scottish Borders

The places you know. The views you might normally walk straight past. The little details that make this part of the world feel like home

We’re creating something we hope will be a lovely little piece of the Borders to send, keep or take with you

And we can’t wait to show you the first collection

Small family businesses have a funny way of creating jobs

One minute he's just popping in to help.

The next he's:

Chief box lifter
Emergency Delivery Driver
IT Support
Shelf Builder
Emergency beverage procurer
"Can you just..." Specialist

Mark never applied for any of these roles, but somehow they're all permanently on his job description! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this month, so he clearly tolerates his unpaid work experience!

Anyone else have a husband who's collected a whole list of jobs in the family business that he definitely never signed up for? 🤣
