Does anyone know where i can get a sign made in slate or who would be able to make me one? I would like to get one as a present for my mother in law for her new home. Thanks .:)

Try the Quarry at Spittal, or enquire at Serendipity in Thurso perhaps?

You could also try the man in Wick who does gravestones/gravestone engraving. I got mine from there but I can't for the life of me remember what the name is, it is in a tiny wee place down beside the swimming pool area. No doubt someone will know exactly who I mean. He was really quick and really reasonable.

Macdonald is the man you mean - Monumental Sculptors I think - straight over Service Bridge then I think it was on second corner on the left. Very helpful family business.

W MacDonald Sculptor
I'm afraid he has retired, Jocky Sutherland, caithness stone industries at spittal has taken over the business.

I have heard that Caithness Stone Industries at Spittal have a fancy piece of equipment that can scan photos etc and uses a water jetting technique to produce signs etc

Could Try John Hood and Sons, Monumental Scupltors In THURSO or WICK.

Your best bet is David Mackay, Parkside, Lybster. He runs a business just doing the very thing you are looking for. I don't know what the charges will be but give him a phone for a quote.

We got ours done by Sutherland Stoneworks in Golspie, who got the slate from A&D Sutherland's quarry in Spittal. They did a great job! :D
