A shopping basket used in Lewis in the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s. Probably bought in lauder, Berweckshire
This shopping basket originally belonged to Margaret James of Lewis and was used by her during the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s. It is made from stripped willow and for the siding and handle wrapping split willow has been used. It is thought the basket was bought in Lauder, Berwickshire. It is now in the ownership of Margaret’s daughter Louise.
