Braemar Castle Plate
Just five minutes from The Fife Arms, Braemar Castle is a striking 17th-century fortress in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Owned by the community and open to visitors, the castle’s star shaped curtain wall and historic interiors offer a glimpse into Scotland’s rich history.
Artist Sasha Compton drew on her personal connection to Braemar for this piece, having visited many times in her childhood. "As a child, I remember the strong earthy colours of Braemar, the colder climate and the rustic bothies. Braemar Castle reminded me of a fairytale and the whole place seemed like it could be another time."
Handmade by Sasha Compton, this ceramic plate is entirely unique with intentional imperfections and irregularities in the shape. The process to create these artworks is lengthy; once the clay is shaped, it is fired to bisque, then decorated by hand and fired again.
This plate is not food or dishwasher safe.

MORE ABOUT
Sasha Compton
Sasha has created a collection of exclusive ceramic artworks inspired by the rugged romance and beauty of the Highlands, Braemar and Deeside. Each design is entirely handmade, with intentional irregularities and subtle imperfections that celebrate the originality of the craft. Using the swooping shape of the hills, the windy roads and rocky streams of Braemar as her muse, Sasha calls these works ‘love platters to nature’.
