My name is Ross Wheeler and I decided to build a new business, Ailsa Craig Gifts, to run from home during the Coronavirus pandemic.

My Aunt has a successful Personalised Gift business in Canada and suggested that I could start a similar business here in Scotland.  With the help of my parents, I have built a workshop in the garden and bought a high-quality laser engraver.  

I live in Maidens, South Ayrshire, which is a beautiful part of Scotland often overlooked by tourists.  our workshop is only a mile along the coast from Turnberry Golf Course to the South and Culzean Castle to the North, so there are plenty of reasons to visit!

​Being autistic, working from home is ideal for me.  It means I can use my particular skills in a work environment that suits me best.

​Ailsa Craig Gifts provides lively, eco-friendly products using where possible materials sourced in Scotland.
