Visiting the Gallery
Artisanand is located in Aberfeldy, one of several art galleries and sytlish gift boutiques making up part of a very attractive independent High Street. Recently named one of the top 10 places to visit in Scotland by the Sunday Times. The start of the Birks of Aberfeldy circular walk is less than 100 meters from our door, or if your more adventurous there are munros to explore in Glen Lyon, or in most directions from Aberfeldy, water sports on Loch Tay and the river beyond, a national treasure of an independent bookshop in The Watermill and a wonderful range of coffee shops and restaurants, truly something for everyone!
Our current opening hours are on our website, over the summer we may be open later and your welcome in when the door is open, but you can also make an appointment if you would prefer to visit outwith our opening hours.
Our Team
Angela Thomson
Angela established Artisanand, opening in August 2014, mainly with artist friends. After a career in management consultancy this was a chance to work using her skills to represent other artists and develop her own art.
Managing the gallery impacts Angela's ability to work on her own Harris Tweed art. At least having the workshop in the back of the gallery allows all the team to turn their hand to something creative when the mood strikes. It's also where Angela runs her framing business from.
Lorna C Radbourne
A stained and painted glass artist who is also known to paint too, mainly watercolours. Lorna is based in Dunning where she has her garden workshop and mini gallery displaying her own and fellow artists work, in Catriona Studio.
Lorna's work can always be found in the gallery, she also particpates on the hanging team and so every six weeks when we rehang the gallery's latest exhibition she helps arrange the works. Without her it wouldn't look as amazing as it does!
Tilda & Alfie - the gallery hounds
Tilda joined the team in 2018 at nine weeks old, Alfie in the summer of 2025 at 8 weeks old. Both are happiest greeting visitors over the sales desk gates. Both these hounds love to be the centre of attention and are happy to let us know when they're not getting quite enough attention!
