Here biy! It's Caithness artist and (member of the Coo's Tail crew) Deirdre Cameron with an extra large copy of her Morven Migration print!
💛🤩
We had a customer request for the larger size print to fit a wall in their new house, so we were delighted to arrange it for them, and frame it to their requirements. The customers picked a wooden frame which was hand stained in Walnut.
🖼️💛
It looks amazing in the larger size and we hope they will love it for years to come, reminding them of Caithness. Deirdre has captured the beautiful changing light and peacefulness of the vast landscape in this gorgeous print. I love the colour palette she has used here.
💛🖼️
The print is available in stock as a regular large limited edition, mounted or framed (seen here being framed in slate blue in picture 4) as well as small open edition prints mounted or framed.
🖼️💛

Lots of new things arriving lately! Inspired by the upcoming Orca Watch week and our latest deliveries, we've set up a sea themed table display.
🦭🫍
Our Duncansby Orca and Thurso Harbour Selkie designs have proved popular on wee wooden decorations and velvet cushions, so we've expanded the range!

We've now got gorgeous glossy placemats and coasters, as well as beautiful blank greetings cards. The coasters and placemats are hard wearing, wipeable and sure to create a splash at the table!
Our cards are printed on beautiful textured watercolour card, and suitable for almost any occasion, or just to say hello 👋.
All inspired by our local landscape and wildlife, and made in Scotland. You can take a wee piece of Caithness home with you, or send it to someone special. 💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Day four of is THROWBACK THURSDAY
💛
We're throwing back to 2015-2021 when the Coo's Tail was round ey corner on Olrig Street.
I do miss having a bright coloured shop front, as we aren't allowed to paint the current one😭, but wur new shop has much more space for more lovely things. Lots of fab memories from our time on Olrig Street, where we started and grew the business, and survived two lockdowns!
💛
The old shop is now painted baby pink and is home to Banno's Ice cream. We have been known to pop back round on a sunny day for a cheeky wee cone!😁🍦
