Never too old, never too young to learn something new. Granda & our daughter tagged along yesterday. School holidays in Highland so thought it was time for our Bee to start earning her keep! 😉

Thank you to Maree for sharing these photos of the beautiful memorial she designed with her daughter Chloe 🥰

They opted for a large teardrop shape in a light grey, with a chamfered edge to soften the look while adding an elegant finish. The memorial was further customised by adding a deep carving of three birds on a branch. Resulting in beautiful bespoke design and tribute for Graham ❤️💧

We installed this very large memorial recently. Big thanks to Steve & family for sharing the photos.

This was a large version of our Wick design that covers two side by side lairs. A combination of Chinese characters and English text was used with the Chinese characters being a dominant feature on the memorial. The memorial was further personalised with two large portrait black and white ceramic photos ❤️

A bit of a change of scenery today. My daughter’s school have careers week this week. This afternoon I went along to their open afternoon to talk about being self employed and what we do at Mackay’s. Such a lovely bunch of kids … I am bit biased 😉🥰

For anyone in our local Tain area who has a child going through a bereavement this may be of interest ❤️‍🩹

This is a free service that a local funeral director offers. So often we have spoken with families who don’t know what their loved ones would want once they pass, this could avoid so much of this ❤️

Thank you to Rose and Duncan for sharing these photos.
This is the Lochcarron memorial that has been personalised with the addition of a beautifully hand painted corner red rose design. Duncan also sourced a very cute cat ornament that we secured to the base of the memorial, a special addition for his late wife ❤️🐱🌹

Thank you to Anne and her family for letting us share these photos of a recent memorial we installed for them along with a vase that we restored.
The family opted for the additional sub base to ensure the memorial sits above the ground while also providing some protection to the inscription on the base.
The vase was placed to mark the passing of baby Ralph back in 1967 but is now looking brand new again ❤️

These are photos of a recent raised lead lettering job we did.

Raised Lead Letters are proud of the surface of the stone. Holes are drilled into the surface of the stone, then lead is beaten in to the cut letters and holes. The lead left on the surface is then cut by hand to produce the letters.

The last inscription was added to the stone and the rest of the memorial restored. Making the memorial look brand new 😊👍🏼

Thank you to Amy and family for allowing us to share photos of this memorial.
This is our Kirkwall Heart headstone paired with a splayed base. The family opted to have the lily carving painted in full colour and add a personalised art piece of a Buckfast wine bottle creating a unique tribute to Hazel.
We offer a fully bespoke range of artwork all completed on site ☺️❤️

Covered some miles last week to do some restoration and additional inscription work. What views from Kinlochbervie and Strathy, beautiful 😍
Could summer finally be arriving? 🤞🏻
