The Scottish stag – card
The Scottish stag – card
Oor ain culture
Culture is one of the main things that define a country. It makes one place on a map more than simply in a different location to another place on a map. Scotland is no exception to this. From our tartans and traditions, to our writing, music, languages and so much more, the culture that has come to define Scotland has become known around the world.
Cringe no more
Since the 1707 Act of Union that took away Scotland's independence, Scots have been taught to dislike, dismiss, or even flat out deny their culture. Known as the Scottish Cringe, this in-built censor manifests in all sorts of ways, often around words such as 'twee' and 'parochial'. Bringing a sense of worth back to Scots through a focus on their Scottish culture is my main aims in creating this art.
About this piece
There are few beasties as evocatively Scottish as the mighty red stag. You can find them everywhere from shortbread tins to the walls of the National Gallery.
The artwork
This noble stag has been drawn in a modern watercolour style and is combined with a Saltire, to create an iconically Scottish drawing.

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.
- Mounted prints are posted in an A4 board-backed envelope for up to three, or in an A3 board-backed envelope for more. Any mounted print ordered with a calendar or A3 poster will be posted in an A3 board-backed envelope.
- Cards are sent in an A5 board-backed envelope for up to ten cards, or an A4 board-backed envelope for orders of over ten. Cards ordered with a calendar or A3 poster will be in an A3 board-backed envelope.
- Magnets are posted in an A6 board-backed envelope for up to three magnets or an small box for four or more. Magnets ordered along with any of the items above will be in the relevant larger 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.
