Furniture - Creepies

Orkney has many unique dialect words, but some are shared with Scotland, such as 'creepie'. When I was a child the stool beside the fire was always referred to as 'the creepie'.

I have a sea-grass creepie and it is still in excellent condition after more than twenty-five years service as spare seating, foot-stool and occasional table.

There is a waiting list for the stools made by the Orkney Furniture Maker, Kevin Gauld. Please contact us if you would like a time estimate before placing an order.
