Product Information
Full details
The Waverley Holyrood Tartan Large Notebook is an ideal companion for writers, artists, and planners who appreciate a blend of traditional aesthetic and functional utility. Designed by Ron Grosset, this high-quality hardback journal offers a sophisticated, durable solution for daily note-taking, sketching, or maintaining a commonplace book. While its 80gsm paper is excellent for standard pens and pencils, users who prefer heavy fountain pen inks or thick markers may experience slight ghosting on the reverse side of the page.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the paper fountain pen friendly?
It is suitable for most standard pens, but because the paper is 80gsm, heavy ink flow may cause ghosting. Testing on the last page is recommended.
Does this notebook have lines or is it blank?
The Waverley Holyrood notebook typically features lined pages, making it ideal for standard journaling and organized note-taking.
What does FSC-certified mean?
It means the paper is sourced from forests that are managed to meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards.
Can I use this for scrapbooking?
While the paper is acid-free and safe for photos, be mindful that the notebook is designed for writing; adding too many thick items may cause the spine to warp.
What are the exact dimensions?
The notebook measures 21cm x 13cm, which is a standard large size equivalent to many classic journals.
Is the cover washable?
The cover is durable but not waterproof. We recommend wiping it down with a lightly dampened cloth rather than submerging or scrubbing it.
Troubleshooting
Notebook will not lay flat when opened.
Gently massage the spine from the center outward to loosen the binding glue; do not force it open past 180 degrees.
Pen ink bleeding through the page.
The 80gsm paper is intended for standard inks; switch to a ballpoint or gel pen, or avoid using high-flow fountain pen nibs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a stationary product, setup is as simple as opening the cover to your desired page. To ensure the longevity of your Waverley Holyrood notebook, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: When new, the spine may be stiff. Gently press the spine flat across a few sections to help the notebook lay flatter over time.
- Writing Compatibility: The 80gsm paper performs best with ballpoint pens, gel pens, and standard pencils. If using fountain pens, choose a fine or extra-fine nib with drier ink to minimize bleed-through.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the tartan cover pattern vibrant and to prevent humidity from affecting the paper quality.
- Cleaning: Wipe the hardback cover with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth if dust accumulates. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or soak the notebook.
