Highland Threads & Family Secrets: - A Journey Home

Stirring it up with Andi and Miquita Oliver

In Inverness, Andi and Miquita's Scottish journey takes an intimate turn as they immerse themselves in tradition with a modern twist. Their day begins with acclaimed fashion designer Siobhan Mackenzie, whose innovative approach to traditional Scottish textiles is revolutionising fashion. In this meeting, ancient craft meets contemporary design, culminating in a touching moment when Miquita receives a specially crafted piece that bridges past and present.

The journey deepens at The Malt Room, where whisky experts Jo from Tomatin and bar manager John guide them through the complexities of Scottish whisky. But it's at McGregors Bar where the day reaches its emotional peak - singer and storyteller Davy Holt weaves Miquita's own Scottish ancestry into his performance, creating an unforgettable afternoon of music, stories, and connection over traditional food and drams. As Miquita discovers her Highland roots, the journey becomes more than exploration - it becomes a homecoming.
