A Luckenbooth is to the Scottish as the Claddagh is to the Irish. It is a love story....A Scottish love token often given to a new mother, or a new bride. It can be given to a friend. Often times they were given as a symbol of protection. The Luckenbooth features a crown, thistle and heart. The Luckenbooth is a very romantic and symbolic Scottish design.

This will be GREAT for lovers, friends, children.. This Pin will be wonderful for weddings. Luckenbooths were first sold from "locked booths" in Edinburgh's Royal Mile dating back to the 15th century, If that is not enough, we have placed a beautiful Scottish Thistle in the center! You are going to love this piece and want to get an extra for a friend. This pin will look great against any color clothing and Tartan sash.
