My name is Annette, I moved to the Highlands 24 years ago. My love for the area I live in runs deep due to the beautiful scenery and abundance of wildlife surrounding me, particularly the majestic stag.
I am fascinated with the stag, mostly because of how they grow antlers each year for them to shed and grow new ones. The older the stag is the larger the antler becomes each year. Antlers are the fastest growing bone organism, challenging to work with, however very rewarding.
My inspiration came from being lucky enough to find the odd antler whilst out walking. With it being such a beautiful object and wanting it in many rooms of my house, I wanted to make use of the antler for others to enjoy - hence the beginning of Highland Antlers.
As my business grew, it was harder to keep up with using just the odd antler found out and about. I now buy them from local estates who collect the naturally shed antlers.
