A coorie wee hoose.
Coorie is Similar to the Scandinavian hygge, but more Scottish.
Coorie is a feeling. Its like the coziness that you get when after spending a day outside, probably in the rain, you sit down for your tea with the sunset light streaming into the living room.
Coorie does not have be expensive.
Just like taking a train into the highlands, you are transported into nature.
The simple pleasure of sustainable living is a what we at Coorie Home strive for.
"Gabriella Bennett, author of The Art of Coorie, says the word is "used to describe a feeling of cool, contemporary Caledonia. One that looks forward while also paying respect to our oldest traditions".
The aim is "to try to lead a quieter existence where the endless pursuit a work is balanced by small pleasures," she wrote in The Times. Swapping the anxiety and stresses of the modern world for something simpler is the crux.
Unlike Hygge, which is more of a cosy contentment, Coorie is about embracing the outdoors." Read more here.
