The Bealach na Ba is the winding single-track mountain pass to Applecross, built in 1822 and engineered similarly to the mountain passes of the Alps. It has the greatest ascent of any road in the UK and is the third-highest road in Scotland. From the top, you can experience terrific views across much of Wester Ross, the Isle of Skye, the Islands of Rum, and the Outer Hebrides.
During winter, frost, ice, and snow transform the Bealach, and Jack wanted an aerial panorama to showcase this perspective, as many people usually see it only in spring or summer, from the ground.

This panorama is actually composed of nine separate images stitched together to build up the resolution, which allows Jack to form the panoramic shape while retaining quality. This is a technique he uses often in his photography. The images must be taken in quick succession, using exactly the same settings so that nothing changes across the scene. It is also vital that there is a good overlap between the images so that Jack can accurately stitch them together later.

The final result allows you to see an alpine comparison and encapsulates the incline of the pass and the hairpin bends, in contrast with the stark white snow.

Hand-Stretched Canvas

At The Applecross Gallery, we use high-grade, UV-resistant canvas with a matte finish alongside a professional-grade 12-ink printer. This advanced technology captures the full tonal range and precise colour of Jack Marris' Highland photography, ensuring each piece has remarkable clarity and longevity. 

Every canvas is hand-stretched in-house over durable pinewood frames crafted by local artisans, creating a unique, authentic addition to your decor. Your order arrives ready to hang, bringing the beauty of the Highlands straight to your space.

Floating Post Frames (Small Framed Canvases)

Floating post frames provide a contemporary way to display your favourite Scottish prints. The prints appear to "float" within the frame, giving a clean and modern aesthetic that enhances the artwork. These frames are a great option for those looking for a sleek, minimalist presentation.

Larch Post Frames (Medium Framed Canvases)

Larch post frames offer a rustic and unique way to display your favourite Scottish prints. Crafted from reclaimed larch fence posts, each frame carries its own natural character and history, adding warmth and texture to the artwork. These frames are perfect for those who appreciate a more organic, earthy aesthetic while supporting sustainable practices.

Fine Art Prints 

Our fine art prints are crafted on premium paper for lasting quality and vibrant detail, available in two sizes and signed by Jack. Check our sizing guide for easy conversion from inches to centimetres. Each print is shipped in a protective tube, ready for you to frame or present as you wish.

Mounted Prints

For a compact display, choose our small mounted print, professionally mounted in-house with care. These prints capture the beauty of Applecross and the Scottish Highlands in a format that’s perfect for any space.

Canvases

Our panoramic canvases are designed to suit the wide Highland landscapes Jack photographs, helping to bring a real sense of scale and atmosphere into your space.

Small Panoramic (22x8 inches / 55x20 cm)

A smaller panoramic size that works beautifully in hallways, smaller rooms, shelves, or narrower wall spaces. These are also ideal as part of a gallery wall where you can combine similar Highland locations, colours, or favourite memories from Scotland together.

Adding a floating post frame to our small canvases increases the overall dimensions to approximately 25.5 X 11 inches / 28.5 X 64 cm.

Medium Panoramic (40x16 inches / 100x40 cm)

A versatile panoramic size that suits most spaces comfortably, particularly above side tables, desks, fireplaces, or smaller sofas, where you still want the landscape to feel expansive without overwhelming the room.

Adding a larch post frame to our medium canvases increases the overall dimensions to approximately 45 X 21 inches / 114 X 53.5 cm.

Medium Panoramic (40x16 inches / 100x40 cm)

A versatile panoramic size that suits most spaces comfortably, particularly above side tables, desks, fireplaces, or smaller sofas, where you still want the landscape to feel expansive without overwhelming the room.

Large Panoramic (60x22 inches / 150x55 cm)

At roughly the same width as a king size mattress, this panoramic canvas works particularly well above beds or two-seater sofas, creating a strong focal point while still feeling balanced within the room.

Extra Large Panoramic (80x30 inches / 200x75 cm)

Our largest panoramic format creates a much more immersive feel and works best on larger open walls where the full scale of the Highland landscape can really stand out.

Hand-Stretched In Applecross

Every canvas is hand-stretched in-house using premium materials designed to showcase the texture, depth, and detail within Jack’s photography. 

Our canvases can also be complemented by our range of rustic locally crafted frames, including contemporary floating post frames or reclaimed Larch frames made here in Applecross, each with its own natural character and texture.

Fine Art Prints

Our archival fine art prints are produced on premium paper chosen to bring out the depth, texture, and changing light within Jack’s Highland photography. Every print is hand signed by Jack and arrives rolled in a protective tube, ready to frame in your own style.

Small Fine Art Print (20.5x8 inches / approx. 52x20 cm)

A smaller print size that works particularly well in narrower wall spaces, smaller rooms, or as part of a gallery wall alongside other Highland locations and favourite memories from Scotland.

Large Fine Art Print (33.5x13 inches / approx. 85x33 cm)

A more statement-sized print that suits most spaces comfortably, whether displayed above furniture, within a hallway, or as a focal point on its own.

Mounted Prints

Once size (Including mount. 20x17 inches / approx. 51x43 cm)

Our mounted prints offer a more compact, affordable, and versatile option, professionally prepared in-house and ready to display. Each mounted print includes a hanger on the back, allowing you to hang it directly on the wall without framing, while also working beautifully styled on shelves or bookcases.

They’re particularly suited to smaller spaces, gallery wall arrangements, or gifting.
