Our Gallery
Dingwall is in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. We can be found at 48 High Street, which has been a chemist's shop since the mid-1800's. Now lovingly restored by us, with many original features on show, it's a lovely space to visit and browse our beautiful, curated collections.
Our social media and website aim to give a good flavour of what's currently on offer, including full details of exhibitions and events. There is however much more in the shop; our range is always being updated. New work, including one-off pieces, arrive weekly and there are plenty of discoveries to be made. Join our mailing list for updates.
At our best 'keeping it real', we love our shop and local High Street, and want you to enjoy visiting Dingwall. Folk often tell us they find a visit to Alchemist Gallery uplifting and inspiring, so invite you to enjoy a bit of the alchemy we create. If that's not possible, we offer an online or more personal mail order service. We talk directly to our talented suppliers regularly, so know what's coming, can be found, or even made, just for you. We genuinely like to make finding what you really want easy, and can also write cards, gift wrap, and arrange delivery if that helps. Please just contact us for some proper customer service.
We look forward to seeing you in Dingwall or hearing from you.
Hazel, Ella and John
