Community
We wouldn’t be what we are without our community; of shoppers, suppliers, and those round about us. We are privileged to trade alongside a great range of other independents on Dingwall High Street. Thank-you to those who choose to shop small.
Like many other small local businesses, we care about our community. The Gallery is a small business with a social conscience. In addition to selling the work of many independent artists, makers, designers, small businesses and selected fair trade suppliers, we also choose to further contribute positively to our local community, where appropriate creative opportunities arise. This included hosting Dingwall Art Group's annual exhibition in September 2026.
As well as our own click and collect, we also provide a free collection point for online orders placed directly with both Glen Wyvis Distillery and Slàinteach Teas, allowing locals to shop locally with other small businesses online and avoid delivery charges.
We sell Dingwall grown lavender products to fund further planting for pollinators, and have supported the work of Befrienders Highland. A donation was made towards the development of Dingwall Heritage Trail, now in place around the town. One supplier raises funds for Pancreatic Cancer Action through thier Gallery sales, and others have done so for Highland Hospice and and Dingwall Museum.
During COVID-19 lockdowns we created changing window displays, bringing what one customer described as “a glimmer of gorgeousness in the midst of it all” to our wee part of the world.
Projects we gave our time and energy to when based in Golspie included arranging workshops and hosting visits for young people, as well as funding and installing community artwork. Hopefully these continue to inspire.

Hazel Gordon
Gallery OwnerDid you know... the whole of our shopfront is new, rebuilt by us to better reflect the very original facade that had been damaged and removed, and we got the stones from the house Hazel was brought up in.
