Description
A Wedding Spurtle is a traditional Scottish Stirring Stick.
The spurtle is perfect for stirring porridge and sauces, in fact anything that requires stirring!
Dating back to the 15th century, the spurtle was a flatter shape then, more like our modern day spatulas. It was thought that it should be stirred clockwise and with the left hand in olden days. If used the wrong way it was thought to summon the devil!
The Spurtle is now commonly bought as a wedding gift for the new bride to ‘tame’ her porridge. Although it is also said on occasions to tame her new husband!
The Spurtle is available with a choice of four tartan ribbon bows, red, blue, purple or green and the ribbon hanging loop is available in ivory, white or cream.
Due to space, only the couple’s names and date of marriage plus a short greeting can be added. The standard greeting is ‘Wishing you happiness’
This is the ideal gift for the Scottish bride although anyone who loves tradition, would appreciate this gift
Tartan horseshoes also available, this just being one of them: Tartan Wedding Horseshoe
Although I only stock a few styles of tartan, I am happy to source different types if time allows. Otherwise you are welcome to send me your own ribbon to use
