"the best little gallery and shop in the Highlands"
art gallery, cards, gifts & art supplies
Shop Online from Alchemist Gallery
Alchemist is an independent gallery, card, gift and art supplies shop, selling a broad range of carefully chosen craft, art and design. We run a year-round exhibition programme, and our in-store and online offer also changes with the seasons, and includes a fantastic selection of great art materials. We actively source quality work direct from local and Scottish artists and makers, showcase the talents of many small British businesses and support fair and ethical producers from other parts of the world. We love individual, one-off creations, to be surprising and just a little bit quirky.
We do not support copyright infringment, and believe artists and makers should be paid fairly for thier skills and work. Shopping with Alchemist Gallery means you are supporting real artists and small businesses.
Alchemist Gift Vouchers
It can sometimes be difficult to know what someone will really like. Giving a gift voucher means you can let them make that choice. With 12 months to choose from our ever-changing selection, you can't go wrong with an Alchemist Gallery gift card. Available digitally, or as hard copy.

Unfortunately the opportunity to browse hadn't happened the last few times that we holidayed in the Dingwall area. On return home, I contacted the gallery as I had spied an item that I fell in love with. One week later, the item was hung in my living room and I love it! MASSIVE...

Delivery
There is no minimum order, or click and collect charges.
We deliver to all corners of the UK, including the Highlands and Islands*.
We aim to pack orders for despatch within two working days of being placed. If your order is urgent, do let us know, and we will get it ready for collection, or sprint up the street to our local Post Office just as fast as we can!
You are able to make delivery choices at checkout. We offer the option of pick up in store, or tracked and insured delivery by Royal Mail or Parcel Force. If another option is necessary or better, we will be in touch.
*Letters, small and medium sized parcels can be sent for the same price UK wide, including anywhere in the Highlands and Islands. There is no Highland or Island surcharge applied for sending larger parcels from the our shop in the Highlands to anywhere in the UK except to Northern Ireland, Isle of Man or Isles of Scilly.
In the real world, there is no such thing as "free delivery"; people need to be paid. We try to keep our delivery charges as fair as possible by basing them on current postage rates for actual pack weight and size. If there is a discrepancy over £1.50 between charged for and actual postage, we will refund the difference.
We re-use packaging rather than charge for it, but can gift wrap what is inside if needed, and write the card too, in our very best handwriting of course.
Please email any questions about delivery, or about items you may have seen in the shop, that are not showing as available to buy online.
We sell a lot of one-off pieces and deal face to face with customers six days a week, so just can't list everything. However, we do offer a great seasonal selection of artwork, cards and gifts as well as art supplies online, and can pop anything else we sell onto an order if asked.
We are just real people working in an small independent shop, so not always able to answer the phone if we are serving another customer (or up a ladder hanging artwork - eek!), but we will help you as soon as we can.
If you require anything shipped outside the UK, please email us to enquire. Delivery charges outwith the UK do not include customs duty, local taxes or handling charges.
