Harbour seals, also known as common seals, are the smaller of the UK's two seal species, though their name can be misleading - they're not as common as you might think. In fact, current estimates give their numbers at 55,000 - a third of the number of grey seals around Britain's shores.
These charming creatures spend much of their time lounging on beaches, rocks, and sandbanks, but they're also strong swimmers, often seen gliding through coastal waters. Each harbour seal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat, making it possible to tell individuals apart.
In British folklore, they were believed to be selkies - mythical creatures that could transform into humans. Today, their curious and playful nature makes them a much-loved symbol of coastal wildlife.
Here we have the beautiful sight of a colony of harbour seals basking on a small, seaweed-covered island in a quite corner of Loch Gairloch in the Scottish Highlands. With water shimmering in the foreground and a peaceful scene of hills and a boat in the distance, this image captures the tranquillity of the UK's coastal wildlife.
Add a touch of coastal calm to your home with wall art, or enjoy these serene seals with a coffee mug or greeting card!

Framed poster prints are often chosen for their simplicity, but low-quality paper, flimsy frames, and awkward self-framing can quickly ruin the result. This framed poster print is designed to avoid those compromises, offering a well-made, ready-to-hang solution that looks good and lasts.
Printed on premium 170gsm semi-gloss paper, the poster delivers strong colour reproduction with a subtle shine that enhances detail without overpowering the image. The semi-gloss finish improves vibrancy while offering increased resistance to light and moisture compared to standard poster papers, helping the artwork retain its appearance over time. All paper used is FSC-certified or equivalent, supporting responsible sourcing.
The solid pine wood frame provides a sturdy, clean-lined presentation without unnecessary bulk. Available in black, white, natural wood or dark brown, each frame features a smooth or natural grain finish depending on colour choice. With a profile measuring approximately 20 to 25mm thick and 10 to 14mm wide, the frame offers a balanced look that works well for framed posters in both home and office spaces.
Each framed poster is protected with shatterproof plexiglass, a lightweight alternative to traditional glass that offers clear visibility while reducing the risk of damage during handling or display. The surface is easy to clean and helps protect the poster from everyday wear.
Supplied with a hanging kit and ready to hang on arrival, this harbour seal colony framed poster print is a straightforward way to add framed wall art to your space.
