Amaazin.Scot is a new online marketplace that aims to showcase and support independent Scottish designers. This Burns night, Amaazin.Scot is hosting a virtual Burns marketplace, highlighting the fantastic independent businesses within Scotland.
Monday the 25th of January is Robert Burns Day, a day in which Scotland is highlighted to the rest of the world. Burns day will be slightly different this year due to the pandemic supporting an artist through Amaazin.Scot is a great way to commemorate one of Scotland’s greatest writers.
Over the past ten months, the Scottish economy has faced continued economic upheaval due to the COVID 19 pandemic. It has affected every member of society but the impacts that it has had on small independent business owners, in some cases, has been fatal.
“Amaazin.Scot is giving me a new sales opportunity where I can demonstrate my work to a brand new audience,” said Toben Lewis, Book Design and Bibliopegist.
Amaazin.Scot has created a platform for small businesses during these difficult times. Moreover, it provides accessibility and ease for consumers as they no longer have to spend hours searching for small designers. The Amaazin.Scot goal is for us all to work together to make Scotland better than ever.
Burns day celebrates Robert Burns, Scotland national Bard and the Ploughman Poet. Over the decades Burns Day has become synonymous with Scottish culture and heritage as a whole. However, this year many Burns day or night traditions such as Burns suppers and ceilidhs will not be possible due to current lockdown restrictions.
Not long left till the 25th!
We may have no control over lockdown and the virus – a haggis for ten has become a haggis for one! – however, we can still celebrate Burns night in style at home.
Support fantastic small Scottish businesses this Burns night whether it’s with a beer from Bellfield brewery over Zoom or over a Taxi board game after your dinner.
