So happy to finally have our website live! Hopefully this will make it easier for you all to see everything in one place and read more about what we can offer! Visit www.fluragfloraldesign.com 🥰
The “shop” section will only be up for the next 48 hours or so as I am heading away on a wee holiday next week, so if there’s anything you would like, don’t wait around!! The first 5 orders will receive a wee Flùrag sticker with their order too🌸
Once I’m back, the shop section will open again and I’ll have more of a variety of wreaths and bouquets🙌🏼

Ps. The website looks better on a computer rather than a phone, so I’d be really pleased if you could get your laptop out to look at it🤣

Abair latha a bha agam air Disathairne san t-Eilean Sgitheanach còmhla ri IonadThròndairnis 🥰💐
Ruith sinn dà bhùth-obrach agus chòrd iad rium gu mòr - mòran, mòran taing dhan a h-uile duine a thàinig ann agus tha mi’n dòchas gum bi mi air ais o chionn goirid!
I had a fantastic day in Skye on Saturday with Ionad Thròndairnis - we ran two dried wreath workshops, one in Gaelic and one in English. Thank you so so much to everyone who came along, I was so inspired by everyone’s wreath making and hopefully I’ll be back before long!

I was delighted to be asked along to host a workshop as part of Lindsay’s hen do on Saturday!👰🏻♀️💐
We made dried floral wreaths which meant everyone had something to take away at the end of the afternoon to remember a special day. I absolutely loved seeing everyone’s creations, and it was such a joyful and relaxed few hours! Thank you all so much for having me🤍
I will be advertising private workshops very soon so if you have something coming up (maybe a birthday, hen do or special occasion..) and would like to organise something similar, please do send me a message or email - I’d love to hear from you!🌼
Our team💛
🍀Meet the team! 🍀
Rather than do an individual meet the team, I’m sharing my current favourite team photo taken at the recent wedding of our eldest daughter, Kirsty to Calum.
Left to right in the photo is Duncan, me (Fiona), Kirsty, Calum and Rona.
During your stay here the face that most folk will see is me, as I do most of the day to day running of the pods (and Facebook), but always in the background are our very supportive children, Kirsty, Duncan, Rona and my new son in law, Calum. They all do a power of work despite being based in Glasgow.
Kirsty, a qualified Gaelic Medium primary teacher, has very recently left teaching to start her own business Flùrag Floral Design .
She has been responsible for making up the wee information folders in the pods and manages our Instagram account.
Duncan, nearing the end of a linguistics and Celtic studies degree, designed our logo, which Kirsty recently made digital, and has yet to be revealed…
Rona, who studies Lutherie, has almost completed her 2nd guitar and is about to start making a fiddle. She has a page, Lutherie by Rona Macleod, documenting the steps of making each instrument if anyone is interested in following this fascinating process.
Rona has created our website and set up all our booking platforms which was quite a learning curve for her, and most definitely well above my head!
She also does all the pod ironing throughout the summer, which she seems to enjoy, something that I don’t understand, but appreciate very much.
Calum works in Gaelic media and provides support and level headedness to us all.
During holidays and occasional weekends you may see any or all of the kids as they help out with the cleaning and any jobs that need to be done. All four are Gaelic speakers, so if you want to practice your Gaelic, or learn a few words, don’t be afraid to speak to them!
Nearly all of the photos and videos on our booking platforms and website are taken by the kids. I tend to use some of theirs for Facebook as they’re better quality than mine. Videos are generally always theirs…
All of them provide an IT helpline which I use frequently, and usually in some kind of panic!
I can’t mention the team without mentioning my beloved and lovely late husband, George, who was the crofter here. George had undiagnosed Multiple Myeloma and tragically died very suddenly in 2018.
I think he’d approve, and be very proud of what we’ve achieved here with the pods, but he’d be even more proud of our children, how they support each other and me, and of the responsibility they’ve taken on with our new small family business on top of what they do themselves ❤️
Valentine’s throwback ❤️💘
Bouquets and wreaths are available to order to Migdale Pods Luxury Glamping ahead of your stay to surprise someone special 💐💛
Chòrd e rium a bhith ag obair aig na Botanics aig Seachdain Dhùn Èideann an t-seachdain sa chaidh agus a’ bruidhinn air coilltean-uisge 🌿🪴🍃
Do you need dried flowers to gift?🌷🪩
I can provide large orders of dried bouquets of varying sizes and styles for birthdays, hen dos or any special occasion! These can be delivered, collected or posted. Send me a message if you have something in mind!📮
I made these tiny cute bouquets for all the gals on my own hen do!🥰 the theme was pink of course🎀💓🌸

Seachdain na Gàidhlig (World Gaelic Week) is gearing up for its third and most ambitious year as organisers unveil a plethora of vibrant events in the week’s packed programme for 2024, with the theme Do Chànan. Do Chothrom, which translates to Your Language. Your Opportunity.
Lairg & District Learning has been named as one of the groups across Scotland taking part from 19th - 25th February. The Learning Centre’s Do Chànan. Do Chothrom. Cataibh ( Your Language. Your Opportunity. Sutherland) project is one of 53 taking place across 17 council areas which have been funded with help from the Small Grants Fund, supported by Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
We have programmed a range of activities to celebrate Gaelic in Sutherland during Seachdain na Gàidhlig which includes a Gaelic awareness session, Gaelic Song Workshops in Brora and Lairg, An East Sutherland Gaelic Heritage Night with a special screening of a documentary about East Sutherland Gaelic and a Gaelic Conversation Meet Up.
We’re also bringing our Highland Community Waste Partnership work into the celebrations by reducing textile waste and celebrating the crafting traditions of another Gaelic speaking nation with a Manx quilting workshop.
We are also grateful to Golspie Heritage Society and Clyne Heritage Society (Brora) for helping us to coordinate events in Golspie and Brora.
To book a place on any of our activities visit our Eventbrite page or contact us on [email protected] and 01549 402050.
