Foraging in the Duart

Stewart Christie • Oct 28, 2019

An Adventure with the Maclean Brothers

We recently spent time with the Maclean brothers @broaratlantic at their training camp in Sutherland, Scotland, where we got the chance to go foraging in and around their familiar childhood stomping ground.

First, a bite to eat...

From left to right, meet - Ewan, Jamie & Lachlan Maclean

EWAN MACLEAN

Ewan is the eldest brother and is a design engineer who invents things that don’t exist yet. He’ll be in charge of the technical elements of the adventure and will make sure our boat can perform in the harsh conditions of the Atlantic. Knowing the gear inside-out, he’ll also be equipped to repair any mechanical or electrical damages and help get us quickly and safely to the other side.Ewan is an accomplished singer-song writer and will use his voice and a shaker to set the pace.

LACHLAN MACLEAN

The youngest brother, Lachlan, is a Philosophy student at the University of Glasgow. He will be in charge of communications and help spread our story. Raising awareness for our charities and liaising with sponsors, he’ll make sure we’ve drummed up all the support we need. Sound of mind, Lachlan will help the team get through the dark days during the row.A phenomenal accordion player, Lachlan will be taking a harmonica in order to complete the band.


JAMIE MACLEAN

Jamie is a trainee architect in his fourth year at the Glasgow School of Art. His thorough and holistic nature will make sure the right things happen at the right time during the run up to the race and whilst we are at sea. We are sure to be fully prepared with him in charge of planning. Jamie is also a keen chef and will look after our nutrition – critical to the survival (and mood) of the brothers. A fantastic bagpiper, he’ll be taking a penny-whistle to keep up moral with a melody. And also a full set of highland bagpipes to ensure we arrive in Antigua with a bit of style.

A Secret Dram

By Stewart Christie • 04 May, 2021
Nothing works together better than whisky and tweed, or rather a fine single malt and our bespoke tailoring. Both require time and knowledge to achieve complete perfection, along with an appreciation for the passion and the craftsmanship.

The Art of Tweed

By Stewart Christie • 06 Nov, 2020
— The Art of Tweed — Tweed is one of Scotland's great gifts to the world. Woven into every strand of this most authentic and rugged of cloths is an extraordinary heritage of innovation and creativity. The Art of Tweed explores the landscapes, textures and patterns of this glorious fabric. From the rolling hills of Scotland's country estates to the rhythmic clatter of looms in our last-surviving mills. From artisan weavers on the Isle of Harris to the high fashion of international catwalks and urban designers reimagining tweed for the streets. Here is a story of romance, nostalgia, sustainability and style - of an effortlessly versatile cloth and its unique place in our lives. Whether fashioned into a flat cap or tailored into a cape, the story of tweed is a story to be shared. Having explored Scotland's boldest fabric in The Secret Life of Tartan, Vixy shares here her love of tweed, mixing her streetstyle background with traditional techniques to give a cutting-edge twist to old ways. Tweed has had its share of ups and downs, but remains steadfast as the countryside's cloth of choice hard-working, purposeful and with an understated style of its own.
