KeithParkes.com the most northerly Workshop and Show Room on the UK Mainland. A wild and rugged landscape with miles of flow country - beautiful beaches - harbours and wildlife. We are just a couple miles from Dunnet Head the most northerly point on the UK Mainland and a 5 minute walk to the beautiful Brough Harbour with Clett Rock standing proud out of the water with Seals popping their heads out of the water to check what is happening around them. Doreen and I have spent many years in the furniture and antique business and acquired a great deal of knowledge.
Fabulous workshop run by a true craftsman with a great character. I went in out of curiosity and found a treasure trove of items. I returned a couple of days later and purchased a unique sycamore coffee table at a very reasonable price. I was on holiday at the time and it is a real and touchable memory of our time staying in Brough (much better than a fridge magnet). Beautiful, thoughtful works of art
at affordable prices.
Called in yesterday and really impressed with the workshop. The shepherds hut we saw was fantastic, pity we can’t take one home.
Had a great hour looking around this true craftsmans workshop, so much knowledge about so many things, the things you have accomplished in life are incredible. Beautiful hand crafted goods ranging from shepherd's huts to lamp shades all produced with the greatest skill with an eye for detail and a wonderful level of finish
We stopped in and had a wonderful time looking around his place. He told us right up front that he had sold all the small items for tourists to take. We were sad to hear that because his work is really amazing. You need to put this on your list for a visit. He spent a lot time patiently showing us around his workshop. We really enjoyed his enthusiasm for his craft. He is truly a master woodworker. Well worth the visit. Wells, from New Mexico.
So glad we didn't just drive past this amazing place, had a great chat with Keith as he showed us both around. What a highly talented man with an array of magnificent pieces to feast the eyes. Ordered a little 'catchet' for our, soon to be born, Grandson. Thank you for making a sunny afternoon in Scotland even brighter, looking forward to seeing you in the North-East when you drop our order off.
Beautiful place to visit had been looking for a mirror for above fireplace for a long time found it at rustic interiors delighted with it was exactly what I was looking for.well worth a visit!
Doreen and I wish all our family - friends - and customers a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
