• Bone With Attitude
  Carol is a New Zealand freeform bone and antler carver who designs and creates all her carvings by hand, there are no mass produced or machined pieces in her collection. All of the bone carvings have been carved and polished by hand, often inspiration dictates various ideas related to a design and for Carol that’s the fun side of being a carver. All her carvings are different and unique. In late 2010 Carol discovered the joys of carving New Zealand deer antler. Carving antler has allowed her to explore many other ideas of shape and line, her inspirations are endless. Each carving has been created over several days, making each one individual and unique, with the sanding and polishing done only by hand which is a slow process. Authentic hand made treasures created with skill , Carol aims to produce pieces that do not appear machine perfect.

• Winston Churchill Venison
  Winston Churchill Venison was established, in a very small building, in early 1990 . Winston taught himself butchery in order to sell to friends and family and slowly the business grew. Initially we sold our surplus carcasses to the dealers, but now we use all our own and buy in from neighbouring stalkers when the need arises. All of our venison is harvested from the wild. We are a very small, family run business that takes great pride in all that we do. We are located in an Argyllshire forest, very near to Dunoon with breath taking views into Glen Kin and Kilmun hills across the Holy Loch. Balagowan has been our residence for the past twenty four years and sits on the south western edge of the Loch Lomond National Park.
