Where everything begins with Heart
Home is never far away…
At The Auld Romantics, we value connection, sentiment and moments with meaning. All our pieces are created to carry a sense of home and belonging, wherever you may roam.
‘Tak a cup o’ kindness…’
It is a season shaped by words, love and small gestures of kindness, a time to warm winter’s heart.
This seasonal collection brings together poetry, affection and meaningful keepsakes. Our bookmarks, seed cards, sixpence cards and greetings are all made in-house in our Perthshire studio and are offered as our winter website specials. More to be included soon.
The Full Collection
Our Etsy customers are at the heart of The Auld Romantics and have shaped both who we are and what we create. At present, our full handmade collection lives in our Etsy studio, where we continue to make, test and gently introduce new ideas. It is also where we currently offer international shipping to the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Our Etsy Range
Little heartfelt keepsakes, artworks and cards celebrating the beauty, nostalgia and timeless allure of Scottish traditions. These pieces are designed, printed and carefully put together by us, then sent directly from our garden studio.
Etsy is where our handmade range currently lives and where many new ideas quietly begin.
What begins in our studio does not always stay there.
Our handmade work will always sit at the heart of what we do. Our Etsy customers have played a huge part in shaping that over the years, helping us test ideas, share feedback and guide what resonates most deeply. That relationship continues to mean a great deal to us.
A new chapter is quietly taking shape.
Some of our most loved designs, alongside new pieces shaped by The Auld Romantics ethos, are preparing to step into the wider world. Thoughtfully produced so they can be shared more widely, without losing their heart.
If you would like to be the first to hear when new pieces are released, you are warmly invited to join our mailing list.
Bespoke Commissions and Bulk Orders
We enjoy working with independent shops, galleries, and businesses who feel aligned with our work and values. Many of our paper products are available for bulk ordering, with pricing adapted for retail and stockists.
Thoughtfully made and in small runs
Our handmade keepsakes are created in small batches from our garden studio. While they are not mass-produced, we are happy to offer small bulk orders where appropriate. We are also open to adapting existing designs from our Etsy shop to suit a particular occasion or purpose.
If you have something in mind, please get in touch and let us know what you are looking for. We are always happy to explore whether we can create something together.
Where Photography Meets Experience
Our outdoor portrait work began as a way of spending time in Scotland’s landscapes and getting to know the people within them. Since 2017, we have been capturing Scotland’s wild spirit. The images matter but the experience comes first.
Outdoor Photography Portraits
These sessions are for those who enjoy being outside, sharing a few unhurried hours together and seeing what the landscape brings. We walk, we talk, we laugh (often) and along the way we create photographs that reflect the day as it is. We offer a limited number of outdoor sessions each year for individuals and pairs who value presence over perfection.
“Some things are made to be felt, not rushed”
Made with Heart
The Auld Romantics is a small family business built around the freedom to create, to share kindness and to encourage connection. Everything we offer begins with the same intention: to make work that is thoughtful, sentimental and true to who we are.
Full of meaning
What we create draws from a blend of old influences and present-day making. Tradition and the contemporary sit comfortably side by side, allowing stories, symbols and landscapes to find new expression.
We believe meaning matters. The things we surround ourselves with can help us remember, connect and slow down. They are made to be held onto, shared and returned to when life feels busy or a little overwhelming.
“The Auld Romantics is more than a name ~ it is our way of seeing and creating.”
What We Mean by The Auld Romantics
Auld does not simply mean old. In Scots, it carries warmth, memory and belonging. It speaks of things that endure.
Romantics is not about nostalgia. It is about choosing to live with heart. To value imagination, creativity and feeling in a world that often rushes past them.
Together, The Auld Romantics is a quiet rebellion. A gentle choosing of beauty, humanity and intention over noise.
“My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go”
Our Wild Spirit
Scotland is not simply a backdrop to our work, but something felt. Its landscapes carry mood and presence, offering both strength and belonging.
Freedom to create
There is a freedom here and a sense of being held by something larger, that continues to influence everything we create.
The Auld Romantics is for those who feel that same pull. For people drawn to creativity with meaning, to nature and to a way of living that values intention over haste and kindness ton one another. Whether you arrive through our handmade work, photography or future collections, we are so glad you are here to be a part of this quieter, more considered way of doing things.
