Celebrate Scottish Dogs with Peter MacQueen

Peter MacQueen on Tails of Scotland

We are proudly a dog friendly shop, and now we have an event to celebrate our furry friends with BBC presenter Peter MacQueen.

Scotland has given the world some of its most distinctive - and most lovable - dogs. In Tails of Scotland, dog-loving Scotsman Peter MacQueen journeys from the wild Highlands to the rolling Lowlands, meeting native breeds and the people who know them best.

From the regal Scottish Deerhound, the gentle giant of the glens, to the mischievous West Highland White Terrier stealing hearts (and socks!) across the country, Peter uncovers the history, quirks and enduring charm of fourteen remarkable breeds. Whether it's a Border Collie commanding its flock or a Dandie Dinmont nosing through the undergrowth, these dogs are more than pets, they are part of Scotland's spirit.

Packed with lively storytelling, stunning photography of dogs in breath-taking landscapes, and practical tips for current and future owners, this is a heartfelt celebration of our four-legged heritage.

Peter MacQueen is a Scottish TV presenter, producer and author. Born and raised in Oban, Scotland, he fell in love with outdoor skills and living when his family built a hut on the Argyllshire coast. He has produced several documentaries and educational series on BBC Alba, Channel 4, and CBBC. He also presents the Gaelic BBC Alba series Cu Leis Thu? A Puppy for Padruig and Garradh Phadruig. His first book The Art of Hutting was published in 2023. MacQueen currently lives near Oban with his partner and international baker, Coinneach MacLeod, along with their Highland Terrier, Floraidh, and Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Peigi, where they are currently developing a new agri-tourism business.
