A great local business

If you're in Lochinver, it's 'a must' to visit the Highland Stoneware business, which lets you watch every stage of creating the many shapes and sizes of pots, dishes, etc. And of course there's the shop with the many products available to buy. Some local...More

Quintessentially Sutherland

Outlets both in Loch Inver and Ullapool. The stoneware is inspired by the local landscape forms and colours. It is the must have memory of your visit to the North West Highlands. If you aren't expecting to come back soon, ensure to take a little...More

Interesting!

Enjoyed seeing the artists painting, the selection of things to buy was extensive, though not my cuppa. The outside decor with the walls covered with broken china, and the living room display was unusual.
