Each of our ropes comes from an inspiration, this is very particular because it tells a legend ...
In Scotland on the Isle of Skye stands Dunvegan Castle, a magnificent castle suspended between reality and legend. Dunvegan is the order ancestral home of the chiefs of clan MacLeod, and is the oldest residence in Scotland, continuously occupied by the same family for about 800 years. Legend has it that a young chief of the MacLeod clan fell in love with a fairy princess, one of the "Shining Folk".
The couple wanted to get married, but the fairy king forbade the union. The two were so in love that he eventually gave in, and agreed to join the Handfasting. The "tying of the hands", was a form of marriage, which traditionally would last a year and a day and was common at the time. The king of the small people, however, asked that at the end of the period, the princess return to her people and not bring anything human with her.
The couple united, lived in harmony and had a son. Unfortunately the year passed, and the couple separated with great suffering at the famous "fairy bridge", the princess returned to the fairy kingdom. Before leaving, she promised her husband that her son would be loved, and that she would never allow him to cry, because she would hear and protect him. One night, the child's mother heard the cries from her fairy kingdom and suddenly appeared by his side. He took the baby and cradled him singing, covering him with a fairy shawl. The shawl became a great talisman for the clan, and if they ever found themselves in mortal danger, they knew they had to fly the flag three times, and the fairy legions would come to their aid. However this talisman could only be used three times, after which it would return to where it had come from. To date, the MacLeod clan has used the flag twice, and the fairy people have presented themselves without hesitation to help them.
Those who have visited this place have been able to feel the magical halo that still surrounds it today .....
This rope has a total length of 2 meters and 40 cm, at the ends I inserted two roses, and pendants on each side: butterfly, star and a small heart.
