Calda House, a once magnificent Georgian mansion, graced the eastern shore of Loch Assynt in the Scottish Highlands. Constructed in 1726-27 by Kenneth MacKenzie of Assynt, the mansion aimed to provide comfort rather than defense, a departure from the cold and austere Ardvreck Castle nearby. This grand two-storey house with a double-gabled roof and a garden was a testament to opulence, but its lavishness led the family into debt.
Facing financial struggles, the MacKenzies were compelled to sell Calda House, sparking a fierce conflict with the Earl of Sutherland over control of Assynt. In 1737, loyal MacKenzie supporters took drastic action, setting the mansion ablaze to thwart its use by the Sutherlands. Tragically, the inferno reduced Calda House to ruins, and it was never rebuilt.

Looking for the perfect canvas print but worried about fading, sagging, or poor-quality materials? This premium stretched canvas print is designed to solve these common frustrations, offering museum-grade quality that lasts a lifetime.
Each custom canvas starts with a 12-colour Giclée print on finely textured 400gsm artist-grade 100% cotton canvas, ensuring every detail is reproduced with outstanding clarity, rich colours, and deep contrast. Unlike cheaper alternatives, these canvases resist fading with a 100-year colour guarantee, so your artwork stays vibrant for decades.
Framed with European kiln-dried knotless pine, the canvas frames are built for strength and durability. A curved profile design minimises contact with the canvas face, preventing unwanted impression marks or surface cracking. Finger-jointed corners provide natural tension, helping to resist warping over time. For larger sizes, discreet wooden wedges are included, ensuring the canvas stays taut and allowing for easy re-stretching in future years if needed.
Each piece is hand-finished by experienced framers, ensuring perfectly smooth, tight folds on every corner. The 38mm deep frame adds a gallery-style presence to your space, while the three edge finish options - black, white, or image wrap - allow you to tailor the look to suit your style.
With effortless elegance and unmatched craftsmanship, these canvases are ready to hang, built to last, and designed to impress. Transform your space with art that stays as stunning as the day you bought it.

Avoid wet or abrasive cleaning products. Do Not Press or Scrub - The surface of the canvas is delicate. Never use water, cleaning sprays, or scrubbing motions, as this may damage the print.
