About us

Kristy, Richard & Bella

Our journey began amidst the breath-taking Scottish Highlands, where fate brought us together after a period of turmoil in our lives. This meeting sparked a newfound sense of purpose and ignited a passion to capture the beauty of Scotland through photography.

At first, it was behind the lens where Kristy found her calling as she immersed herself in photographing both locals and visitors amidst the stunning landscapes of Scotland. Supported by Richard, and what began as creative passion blossomed into a full-time profession. These brief moments shared during photography sessions transformed into lasting friendships.

As the world faced the challenges of the pandemic, these beloved photoshoots were postponed which prompted us to seek new avenues to share the essence of Scotland with our cherished clients. Thus, The Auld Romantics was born – an online haven offering a curated selection of Scottish gifts, complementing our photography service and extending a piece of ‘home' to our clients, no matter where they may be.

With a growing community of loyal patrons we continue to expand our offerings, spreading the warmth and spirit of Scotland to even more hearts around the globe.
