Visit website

Welcome

Camella Crafts is the craft shop of Elaine Campbell, at the Pier Garage in Craighouse, next to Deer Island Rum and the Whisky Island Gallery.

Inspired by the colours, shapes and textures of her island home, Elaine makes all sorts of things from materials found on Jura: deer antler, old whisky barrels, pebbles, sea pottery, wool and wood.

Antlers hang on the walls of the little shop, above tartan, tweed and wooden shelves of island-made gifts, from whisky-barrel keepsakes to knitted pieces. In winter it opens by appointment, and it is worth getting in touch before you go for its summer hours. The Antlers is across the road, and the distillery and the hotel are a short walk along the village street.

The Daily

Arrives at 5am every day.

A free morning email to see what’s on this week, catch up on what’s happening in Scotland and find somewhere new to go.

The Daily for 11 November, from Scotland with love. The broken stone walls of a lochside castle rise from a small tree-covered island, autumn foliage glowing orange against the dark water and forested hillside beyond.
