Dabberlocks (Alaria esculenta) Hanging Scroll

Dabberlocks, scientifically classified as Alaria esculenta, are a type of brown algae commonly found along the rugged coastlines of Scotland. Thriving in intertidal zones and clinging to rocky substrates, dabberlocks are characterised by their long fronds that sway with the ocean currents. The term 'dabberlocks' originates from the Scots language and preserves traditional ways of understanding and interacting with Scotland's coastal environment.
