Malcolm Appleby | The Banchory Bangle
For nearly five decades, renowned engraver Malcolm Appleby MBE has crafted an engraved bangle, affectionately known as the Banchory Bangle, raffled annually to support Children First, Scotland. The tradition began in 1976 and since then, each year’s design, richly inspired by the natural world, has become synonymous with the artist. The Banchory Bangle reflects the enduring power of craft to inspire generosity, community and connection to place. The annual raffle has helped fund vital services for children facing adversity.
