Wolfburn is the northernmost whisky distillery in mainland Scotland. Building work commenced in 2012 and Wolfburn was reopened after some 150 years in early 2013. At Wolfburn we don’t have a visitors centre so when you visit you’ll see the inner workings of the distillery itself, where our master craftsmen make single malt whisky the way it should be made: with care and without haste. Tours finish with a tasting of our various malts, and there’s the opportunity to buy bottles and Wolfburn merchandise.

Welcome to my jewellery and art studio in Thurso. My workbench is situated here and you can see me work on my creations Tuesday to Saturday. I graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with 1st class honours in jewellery and silversmithing. I offer beginner jewellery making workshops where you will learn real silversmithing techniques and at the end of the class take home your own piece of sterling silver jewellery that you have designed and made yourself. A perfect thing to do on a rainy day! Happy to take families (aged over 12, can be younger if an adult is present and they feel the child is capable) friends, couples or individuals looking to do something unique. My new premises in Brabster street is a wonderful place to visit, you will also be able to buy from a specially curated collection of local and scottish craft and ever changing artwork. My scratchboard artwork can be bought in a number of different products including prints, bags and mugs
