The Cat’s Moustache gallery offers original unique handmade arts and crafts from Scotland, the UK and beyond.
This beautiful little gallery stocks a wide range of paintings in oils, acrylics and watercolours, silk painting, calligraphy and lettercutting, ceramics, wood, glass, textiles and other handmade gifts. All at very reasonable prices and the two ladies who own the place show a real knowledge and passion for the work which they sell.
The gallery is child and dog-friendly, everyone is welcomed with a cheery smile!
They run a regular series of exhibitions and demonstrations throughout the year, all of which are free.
The owners have great plans to expand in 2006 into a much bigger premises with a coffee house incorporated - can't wait! They are also planning a transactional web-site to be up and running sometime next year so we can all shop on-line. They have a brochure site at the moment at www.thecatsmoustachegallery.co.uk.

In short, well worth the 1 minute detour off the A75 to get there!
