Highland Tartan — Vintage Junk Journal Kit · 64 Printable Pages

Pull on something warm and pour yourself a tumbler of something amber. Walk up a peat-smelling glen as the light fades to apricot dusk — heather moors stretching in every direction, a stag silhouetted on a far rise, peat smoke curling from the chimney of a gamekeeper's cottage tucked into the lee of the hill.

That's the world of Highland Tartan — a vintage Scottish-heritage junk journal kit in 64 saturated, atmospheric printable pages. Dark academia meets gamekeeper's lodge.

Palette: saturated forest green, deep crimson tartan, ochre, bone cream, weathered tweed, peat amber — proper Scottish heritage, not touristy bright red.

What's inside:

• 12 atmospheric background scenes — Highland glens at dusk, gamekeeper's cottages, stone hall interiors, lichen-spotted standing stones, peat-fire light

• 14 pattern papers — heritage tartan in multiple plaids, deer-stalker check, tweed weaves, vintage whisky labels, Highland botanicals

• 12 seamless tileable papers — for journal liners, pocket fronts, washi-style strips

• 6 lined journal pages — game-book style with tartan trim

• 6 textured / tea-stained pages — foxed parchment, peat-smoked edges

• 9 core ephemera sheets — fussy cuts (stags, sprigs, antlers, antique keys), 4 bookmarks, 6 game-book journaling cards, mini envelopes + postage, hero motifs, bees + grouse + butterflies, ornate frames, ~20 Highland place-name tags, banners

• 5 BONUS ephemera sheets — 6 sepia cabinet portraits of Victorian Highland gentry, 12 themed Highland postage stamps, wax seal monograms A–Z across two sheets, faux tartan washi tape strips

Plus: portrait A4 PDF · individual JPG zip · landscape booklet PDF (easy 2-up printing) · booklet JPG zip. All 300 DPI · A4 portrait · 64 printable pages total.

A few ideas for getting the most out of this kit:

• Build an imagined Victorian gamekeeper's album — pretend the cabinet portraits are a head ghillie at a small Highland estate in 1887, and the journaling cards are his game register.

• Use the heritage tartan papers as full-page liners between sections, or slice into thin strips for instant tartan washi.

• Layer a heather-moor background with a torn tartan ribbon strip, a stag's-head fussy cut and a deep-crimson wax seal — instant Highland still-life spread.

• Pair with our Wanderer's Atlas or Herbalist's Cabinet kits for a wider dark-academia journal series.
