On my visit the prices started from as little as £30 & there are regular opening exhibitions where you can meet some of the artists. In addition to the gallery, they also run workshops here. Owner, Jane Owen Inglis, was on hand for unobtrusive advice & information on her selection of artists & their work. It was such a pleasure talking to her as her love for her gallery & the Scottish art scene was obvious. Located just outside Inverness & housed in an old church that was a soap factory prior to it's use as a gallery, this wee gem is well worth a visit. RxXx

Whiskey will not be found here even though it's tributes are worthy. This assemblage merely hints at the greatness of the Celt, Viking and Highland peoples and encourages further study on your leisure. One item I found of particular interest were the gold neck torcs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torc) ancient warriors wore not only as a symbol of their rank within their community but also a potentially lucky block to a neck-chop sword hack. This is a land with a troubled past. That's probably why they invented scotch. You won't spend much time here but time spent here is time well spent. Dig it?
