Inspired by the Legacy of the Shoemaker

on Round Close, Hawick, Scotland

Every Story Begins Somewhere

Nearly two centuries ago, William Rule worked as a shoemaker in his small workshop on Round Close in Hawick, Scotland. His skill provided for his family and connected him to a community that valued tradition, independence and resilience.

Today the Rule family’s artisan roots continue through historical fiction books and handcrafted leather products – honoring the past while crafting for the future.
