Introducing Yunson 'o' Houllenscord...

The RSNO's Burra Bear

This gorgeous Burra Bear – named Yunson 'o' Houllenscord – was gifted to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra by Shetland Arts, on the behalf of the people of Shetland, as a memento of our time on the Islands during our Out and About week in March 2012 (read more about the week in our Shetland Out and About blog post, here).

Each unique Burra Bear is handmade by Wendy Inkster on East Burra, Shetland, created from pure Shetland wool and feature the famously distinctive Fair Isle knitting patterns.

We've all fallen in love with Yunson and over the coming months and we're hoping to introduce him to every aspect of life and work with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, which you'll see recorded in this blog. 

See some more of Yunson's adventures on our Pinterest board.
