Situated in Mill of Forse, where the rugged cliffs of south east Caithness sweep northwards, North Shore Pottery and Patricia Niemann Jewellery offer everyone the chance to purchase a gift or commission a piece, which will remind them of their stay in Caithness.

The potter, Jenny Mackenzie Ross, uses the landscapes of the countryside and rugged coast around the far north as inspiration for her delicate yet sturdy pots. She loves texture and form, and the "journey" of the pot from the soft clay on the wheel to the kiln and on to the shelf.

She also uses salt-glazes on her pots and her source for the salt is invariably kelp (a form of seaweed) found on the local shoreline. In this way, she imbues the pot with salty qualities of the sea.
