The Highlands is home to many talented artists who draw inspiration from the landscapes and culture that surround them. Boutiques, galleries and studios display the works of gifted local arts and crafts people.

Browse paintings, photography, jewellery, glassware, ceramics and textiles including tweeds and tartan. Support local creativity by taking a piece of the Highlands home as the perfect memento.

Such is the vibrant culture of the Highlands that a range of arts festivals take place throughout the year. The region has become home to some of Scotland’s most popular annual music festivals, like RockNess on the banks of Loch Ness, and the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival near Beauly.

The Blas Festival celebrates Highland music and the Gaelic language while Loopallu is a charming music festival in Ullapool. Both Ullapool and Nairn stage book festivals where you can hear from celebrated writers and poets and meet them too.

There is creativity in the shape of whisky too. The skilled craftsmen at the Speyside Cooperage make whisky casks using traditional methods and tools, and the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival features tastings, dinners and traditional live music.
