How To Add Scottish Highland Wall Art To Your Home
When you look at the art in your home, do any pieces stand out because they hold a hidden meaning or special connection beyond just their appearance? Art can evoke feelings, memories, and associations that go deeper than what you see. From the emotions a piece brings up to the people it reminds you of, art can represent much more than what meets the eye.
The beautiful landscapes, mountain views, and wildlife of the Scottish Highlands are particularly inspiring. They remind us of past trips, our love for the outdoors, and our need to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with nature.
Highland scenes are perfect for wall art, offering a range of colors and themes that capture attention and stir emotions. Their timeless beauty fits well with different interior styles and spaces.
Keep scrolling to see examples of how pieces from our Glen Coe Collection can help you add Scottish Highland Wall Art to your home in a way that enhances your spaces and adds to your vision.
How To Add Scottish Highland Wall Art To Your Home
Ben Nevis & Carn Mor Dearg
Here we have Càrn Mòr Dearg with Ben Nevis behind it. Jack chose to capture the Ben from Càrn Mòr Dearg to focus more on the magnificent north face of the UK's highest peak.
Originally he had planned to get this image at sunrise, but sadly the weather was not cooperating and he woke up surrounded by clouds. He decided to wait as long as possible, and at 1:30pm, it finally cleared, with the afternoon light emphasising the steep ridges that lead from one Munro to the next.
This image would work well with earthy tones and natural green hues. The steely greys of the peaks would also be fitting for office spaces and formal areas.
Sunset Over Aonach Eagach Glen Coe
This aerial panorama was taken in May 2023, looking over the Aonach Eagach and Glen Coe at sunset. The Aonach Eagach is widely known as the narrowest ridge in mainland Britain. It's right above the road that goes through the valley, which runs alongside the river you can see in the photo.
In the image, you can also see the Three Sisters of Glen Coe, also known as the Bidean nam Bian Mountain. Beyond the highest point of the ridge, you can see the path of Glen Coe snaking upward. On the far right, you have Loch Linnhe.
We always feel like sunset panoramas like this one work well in bedrooms, tying into those peaceful evening vibes, and providing a focal point above a bed or vanity. The jewel hues of this particular piece would work within a variety of settings, particularly if you were looking to brighten up a more neutral bedroom or space.
A note from Jack:
"The Aonach Eagach is not for the faint-hearted but to photograph it and camp high up for golden hour pictures, I took a less well-known and more straightforward route to get to the top. Meall Dearg, the Munro in the middle of the dramatic scramble, can be accessed via a path from the north, starting near Loch Leven. Surprisingly in the middle of such a dramatic ridge, there are lots of patches flat enough to pitch a tent for wild camping here!"
The Ballachulish Bridge & Loch Leven
This is the Ballachulish Bridge, which opened in 1975 and marks the point where Loch Linnhe meets Loch Leven. Before the bridge, a turntable ferry was used to transport cars, which you can now find at Glenelg, and you can see the old slipway on the right-hand side of the bridge.
Jack reached this point later in the evening to capture the rich pink and gold tones of the sky alongside the last of the sun's rays on the mountaintops. He was lucky enough to have a boat crossing under the bridge at the same time too!
This canvas would make a striking focal point above a sofa or console table, drawing the eye and sparking conversation. Additionally, it is an excellent choice for commercial spaces and offices, where its vibrant hues and historical significance can brighten a room and create an appealing visual feature.
