THE SCOTTIE CLAN

Seven Scotties. One clan. Absolutely no respect for the original plan.

Meet Damelza, Evangeline, Angus, Amelia, Hugo, Eliza and Beulah — seven small black dogs with very large opinions.

SMALL DOGS. BIG PERSONALITIES.

They were never going to stay in the background.

The Scotties aren’t simply pets who occasionally wander into photographs. They are companions, characters, professional interrupters and a fairly effective management committee.

Each has a completely different personality. Together they have become part of the language, humour and mythology of Untamed Nomad — which is why they get a whole corner of this world to themselves.

MEET THE CLAN

Meet Clan Do Scottitude

Damelza, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Damelza — The Boss

Born leader, devoted mum to Amelia and Hugo, and my constant companion. Equally at home at work, on an adventure or down the pub. My favourite? I couldn’t possibly say…

Evangeline, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Evangeline — The Fun Police

Damelza’s sister, mum to Eliza and Beulah, and the clan’s self-appointed keeper of order. Gentle, loving and always ready to remind everyone to behave themselves.

Angus, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Angus — The Gentleman

Our gentle giant in spirit. Calm, dignified and watchful as a lion guarding his pride. Takes life in his stride, but never underestimate his protective side.

Amelia, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Amelia — The Sweetheart

The eldest of the youngsters and the kindest soul imaginable. Loves absolutely everyone and is happiest when we’re off on another adventure together.

Hugo, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Hugo — The Charmer

My boy and the clan’s resident joker. Loves an adventure and a trip to the pub, where he’ll happily disappear with the locals to enjoy a little extra attention.

Eliza, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Eliza — The Free Spirit

Mischief-maker, fearless guardian and fiercely independent. Hates being tied down, has a bite to match her bark and believes rules are entirely optional.

Beulah, a black Scottish Terrier from Clan Do Scottitude

Beulah — The Baby

The youngest, utterly adorable and spoiled rotten. Full of mischief, enormous character and already holding her own amongst the older clan members.

The Clan

Seven individuals. One formidable unit. Frequently muddy. Rarely where they’re supposed to be.

SCOTTITUDE

Life according to Clan Do Scottitude.

Be curious about everything. Never turn down an adventure. Love your people fiercely. Find joy in the smallest things. And whenever possible, take the scenic route — preferably somewhere with interesting smells.

THE SECRET SCOTTIE SOCIETY

Something rather curious is taking shape.

Stories, characters, Scottish landscapes, seasonal adventures, curious objects and limited treasures — a slightly secret world is beginning to grow around the clan.

We won’t reveal everything just yet. Secret societies do have standards.

Follow the paw prints.

Clan stories, adventures and inevitable interruptions will appear in The Journal.
