Inspiration From Our Scottish Highland Canvas Prints Collection

A bedroom interiors moodboard based around our "Enshrined in Cloud" image.

This stunning image was taken during a December 2015 camp on Beinn na h-Eaglaise which means ‘Hill of the Church’ in Gaelic. It was only in late 2022, 7 years after he made the trip, that Jack realised he had captured this image showing the spectacular, almost ethereal view across to the Torridon mountains. The beautiful ‘Nordic pink’ and gradient of the sky can sometimes be seen at dawn and dusk during a snowy winter. 


We think this image would be perfect placed in a bedroom to help you drift off and wake up in the clouds!


This is one of our limited edition panoramas, and 25 will only ever be printed.



An interiors moodboard based around our image "Liathach October Sunrise"

Standing high above Loch Torridon, Liathach is rated by many as one of the Highland's finest mountains - and with a view like this it's obviously why!


Jack captured this particular image wanting to share the symmetrical aspect of the rivers running either side of the ridge, alongside all those earthy orange tones from the October sunrise.


As you can see, this panorama works wonderfully in warm-toned cozy spaces with natural furnishings and colours.



An interiors moodboard based around our "Burns Night Aurora" image.

Jack had been waiting for a long time to capture an aurora in Applecross, and it just happened to be on Burns Night 2021.


This night was very clear with a bright supermoon which meant that the landscape could be captured in plenty of detail. Paired with the strong aurora and a scattering of stars in the night sky, it's a photo that Robert Burns would surely have found poetic!


This image is always admired at the gallery (who doesn't love an aurora?!), and we think it can work well in many different spaces with all different colour palettes, although for this post we paired it with cobalt blue.



We would love to know your thoughts! Which of our images would you choose for your wall? Don't forget that you can also upgrade any canvas with one of our locally made rustic fence post frames for a true piece of Applecross!



At Applecross Gallery, we're not just about pictures; we're all about preserving the incredible landscapes that inspire our Scottish Highland and Wildlife Photography. Let's dive into how we're making that happen through some simple but powerful sustainable choices.


Frames with a Story

Our frames are more than just pretty borders; they have a history. Crafted from local Larchwood, these frames were once part of the Applecross landscape and used as fence posts at the old sawmill.


You can see the very posts we use to the right of our 'Applecross Bay from the Bealach na Ba' picture!

Now, thanks to Jack's vision, they've been given a new lease on life. Weathered for over 50 years, each frame tells a unique tale of resilience and rustic charm. By picking one up, you're not just choosing a frame; you're adopting a piece of Applecross history.



Carbon-balanced Greetings Cards




Our commitment to green living doesn't stop at frames—it extends to our greetings cards. We print them on carbon-balanced paper certified by the World Land Trust.






What does that mean? Simply put, the emissions from making these cards are offset by supporting the Carbon Balanced program. It's a win-win: you get a beautiful card, and we all get to play a part in protecting vital ecosystems from deforestation and degradation.



What You Should Know

When you shop with us, you're contributing to a business that aims to use local resources where possible, alongside making sure we're having a green impact. We're looking to make a difference, one frame, card, or Highland moment at a time!





As 2023 draws to close, we want to double check that you've got your 2024 calendar ready to roll! If not, we've got a few of our panoramic wall calendars left, alongside our compact desk calendars.



A Journey Through the Highlands

Our 2024 calendar takes you on a visual journey through the heart of the Highlands, featuring twelve aerial and landscape panoramic images that showcase the region's diverse beauty. Locations include Applecross, Torridon, Isle of Skye, and Glen Coe.



From never-before-seen exclusive shots to beloved gallery favorites, each month tells a story. Dive into the narrative with detailed captions beneath each image, offering insights into the moment Jack took the photograph.


Our calendars are available in A3 format ready to be hung on your wall and used to plan out every month, or in our compact desk format, perfect to add something special to a table, sideboard, or workspace.



A Bilingual Gaelic Twist!

In our commitment to celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Highlands, we've added a bilingual feature to our 2024 calendar. Key aspects are translated into Gaelic, intertwining the language with the landscapes' history and cultural roots.



Eco-Friendly & Luxurious

We're committed to an eco-friendly approach without compromising on quality. Our calendar is designed with the months printed double-sided on 8 leaves to minimize paper wastage. Calendars are printed on premium 300gsm silk paper, ensuring that every image pops with vibrant detail.


What You Need To Know

There's still time before Auld Lang Syme starts cracking up for you to secure your 2024 calendar before it becomes a piece of Highland history itself... Whether you'll be displaying yours at home, in the office, or somewhere else, we hope you love all 12 images as much as we do!
