We are grateful to Amy Finkel of M. Finkel & Daughter for sharing the following information on the sampler presented in one of their 2009 catalogues, "The samplermaker is Isabella White and she inscribed the word Currachrune after her name. With help from the Scottish sampler experts and the Scottish Genealogical Society, we have determined that this would have been the name of a farm, likely the home of Miss White, located near Crieff, which was 15 miles west of Perth."

Good estate condition; not examined out-of-frame. Note updated information identifying the sampler as Scottish.
