It is thought that the ’grumphie’, an animal as clever as a dog, was first domesticated eleven thousand years ago. A social animal that likes to huddle together, it wallows in mud to regulate its body temperature an is called pig in English.

Why I don't offer free shipping

As a small business, I source the products in my shop as locally and ethically as I can and I keep those products as affordably priced as possible when I sell them. Because of this – and because I pay my fair share of taxes – I cannot offer free shipping.

Shipping method

  • A1 and A2 prints are posted rolled up in a mailing tube and are only ever combined in posting with A3 posters. Other items will be posted separately. If there is more than one print, they will be rolled together.
  • A3 posters are posted rolled up in a mailing tube. If there is more than one poster, they will be rolled together. If your order includes additional items from below, the order will be posted in an A3 board-backed envelope, with the poster(s) bagged with an additional board back. If you order more than one poster and need extra sleeves and backs because they are presents, please note on the cart page how many extra are needed.
  • Calendars are posted singly in a calendar envelope, apart from Beautiful Scotland calendars, which will be in an A4 board-backed envelope. Multiple calendars are sent in an A3 board-backed envelope.

Northern Ireland and EU

The General Product Safety Regulation (GSPR) is a European Union law that places new requirements for items being imported into the EU market, came into affect on December 12th, 2024. As a result of this, sadly I have no choice but to cease sales to customers in the EU and Northern Ireland (since NI has been effectively allowed to remain in the EU). Once again, we are seeing another of the predictable outcomes of (the illegally won) Brexit.
