A SCOTTISH illustrator has created a series of independence-themed Christmas gifts for the 2020 festive season.
Glasgow-based Claire Barclay’s indyref2 and pro-EU cards and decorations feature her distinctive drawing style and traditional Christmas symbols like holly and tartan.
The artist, whose designs celebrate the “cheeky and fun elements” of Scottish culture, is selling cards which read “All I want for Christmas is indyref2”, “All I want for Christmas is EU” and a piece celebrating the First Minister as “Lil’ Saint Nic’.
Other Scottish-themed Christmas designs include a Yes Sir I Can Boogie card – inspired by Scotland’s recent Euro qualifier – and the Duke of Wellington statue wearing a festive version of his cone hat.
The artist told The National: "I decided to make some gifts themed around independence as my brand is all about celebrating all things Scottish and I'd definitely take indyref2 for my Christmas.
"The designs have gone down a treat so there are plenty of folk out there who appear to want the same!"
Barclay’s products are ready to dispatch in 3-5 business days – so still plenty of time left to get some ready for Christmas.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
