The Black Isle

Harbour Lane, Fortrose

An illustrator’s shop on Fortrose High Street, known for hand-drawn lampshades of Scottish places.

Welcome

Tori is an illustrator and designer, and her lampshades are the reason people seek out Harbour Lane.

Each one is drawn by hand and made to order, and many show Scottish places: there’s one of Cromarty, just along the Black Isle coast. She draws cushions, bolsters and furniture too.

She opened the first Harbour Lane in South Queensferry in 2016. This one, on the High Street in Fortrose, opened in April 2024, after she moved north to the Highlands.

Around her own work she gathers things from more than a hundred artists and makers across the UK, so there are gifts, jewellery, stationery, candles and books to look through as well. It’s a bright, cheerful shop, and Fortrose Cathedral and the road to Chanonry Point are both close by. It’s open from Wednesday to Saturday.
