Just a timely reminder that from this week we've reduced our hours by one day. Were we supposed to do it last month? Yes. Did we forget? Again yes but hey, we were having fun and meeting lots of fab new visitors and regulars alike, so win win 🥰

Throughout November we'll be open Thursday to Sunday and in December we'll reduce that to Friday to Sunday, right up to and including Christmas Eve. The shop's basically a single block construction shed, with no heating and despite it being a truly lovely shed, it can be brutal at this time of year and you can only wear so many thermal layers 😂❄️

If in doubt check 'The Harbour with Footprints Gallery' on Google, the correct hours will always be shown on there. We're still unable to adjust them on Facebook, so have removed that section altogether and as a customer pointed out this week some other bogus sites show us as only open weekends throughout the entire year 🤔

Last but not least, have a great Bonfire Night and stay safe everyone.We're sure we're not alone, given the current circumstances, in having a sneaking sympathy for and understanding of Guy Fawkes 😉🎆

Well we've held off until the last possible moment but the increasing severity of the storm passing through has led us to take the unprecedented decision not to open today, Sunday 25th October.

I doubt we'd have seen many people anyway but to anyone braving it and finding us closed we can only apologise. To everyone else deciding to hunker down, we hope you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after your extra hours sleep and we'll see you on the other side, hopefully without any significant damage 🙏🌧🌊🌬

xXx

PS Thinking of all the boat owners too, who are understandably on high alert at the moment. One boat that broke free was rescued late afternoon yesterday and the owners of a couple that are out on hard standing currently will be losing sleep.

Update: We've just reunited one very relieved husband with his wedding ring...the power of social media eh?! Thank you to the young lad that found it and his Dad for getting it to us ❤️

Just had a family in and the husband's unfortunately lost his wedding ring on the playing fields, could anyone going down there please keep their eyes peeled and let me know if it's found, as I have their contact details.

It's a plain gold band, with no inscription and although the son asked "does that mean your marriage is over?" and the husband replied "Unfortunately not", I imagine it'll still be a more comfortable holiday going forward if it turns up 😀

Fingers crossed! xXx

Delighted and honoured to be the first outlet to be given Rob Wigham Watercolours' latest print 'Daisy Rock, Hopeman' to sell.

From the rock itself in the foreground to the Souters in the distance, there isn't much Rob hasn't included in this wonderful piece....Sheepies Loch, East Beach, the hutties, Hopeman harbour, the masts at Cummingston, the headland and visitors centre at Burghead and even the maltings.

It's available in three sizes at the shop, 20"x16", 14"x11" and 8"x6" and takes it's place proudly alongside the wide variety of Rob's other local scenes that we already stock xXx

Well it's the weekend again, how did that happen? More to the point it's August again!! I think last time we posted it was April...mind you it doesn't feel much different at the moment ☔️💧
Being busy is a great problem to have but we're post-Hopeman Gala (well done everyone), the bunting's still up and we decided to do something to prolong the joy, so for another two days we have Maggie Innes of MI Designs up in the gallery, showcasing her beautiful wares and demonstrating her painting and Gelli plate printing techniques. Why not pop along and say hello? She'll be here from 11am to 5pm today (Saturday) and 12pm to 5pm tomorrow, we'd love to see you 🥰 xXx

PS She's even made a start on Christmas stock...it's never too early 😉 🎅

Well that was unexpected! Today's been a walrus kind of day, courtesy of a visit (or three) from Magnus, who's currently travelling up and down the Moray Coast, inspecting various harbours and one of our crafters, who coincidentally just happened to bring in some walrus plushies at the peak of the rush...aren't they gorgeous? ❤️ xXx

Just to make everyone aware, we're still unable to edit the shop opening hours and can't seem to contact anyone for help. If anything they're worse than the previous 'Temporarily Closed' now, as they show us open on Mondays and Tuesdays, when we're not. So just to clarify again the hours are :-

Monday - Closed
Tuesday - Closed
Wednesday - 11am to 5pm
Thursday - 11am to 5pm
Friday - 11am to 5pm
Saturday - 11am to 5pm
Sunday - 12pm to 5pm

Apologies if you trail out only to find us closed but it's not for the want of trying. The hours are correct on Google however, so please use that if you're in any doubt, until we can get this resolved.

Thank you for your understanding ❤️ xXx

Not sure how it can possibly be this long but 'The Harbour with Footprints Gallery' is ten years old today! 🥂🍾🎉🎂

On the 6th April 2016 we unlocked the shop to customers for the first time and it was both terrifying and exciting in equal parts. Ann had owned and run it for eight years and naturally the boat owners all wanted to know who was becoming the new custodian of the Kenco coffee station. I was like a deer caught in headlights and at the end of the first day one helpful soul(?) said "You're going to have to develop a much thicker skin!" We reminisce about that day and they now add "...and she did!!"

Thank you to every last one of you, you've become like family and I'd trust you all with my life. You've helped me in more ways than I can say, from mending the lock when we couldn't get in, to popping up the street for milk, replacing the plank on the bench outside, putting up signs, helping me paint and even just popping up from the pontoon occasionally when you've seen someone who perhaps you weren't sure of coming in, just to make sure I'm ok and all that has made me feel so safe 🥰

We've sat out in the sun, shared indoor cuppas in the rain, laughed 'til we've cried, said goodbye to far too many and on those occasions we've cried until happy memories of them made us laugh again, I've taken so much stick and learned to give it in return and I wouldn't change one minute...thank you! ❤️

We'll be opening again today, as I can't leave her all locked up on her Birthday, so maybe see you down there shortly...teas and coffees are on me! ☕️ xXx

01/04/2026

Well that's us open again! 🎉
(despite not being able to change the hours on meta - anyone got any advice? lol)

Not sure where the Winter went and some might argue it's still hanging about but the shop's open, kettle's on and all the wonderful artists and crafters are bringing in their stock, so this is us now until Christmas 🥰

Until we can sort out the editing of opening hours issue, here they are as a reminder...

Mon - Closed
Tues - Closed
Weds - 11am to 5pm
Thurs - 11am to 5pm
Friday - 11am to 5pm
Sat - 11am to 5pm
Sun - 12pm to 5pm

Look forward to seeing all our visitors, old and new, in the fullness of time and here's hoping for a successful season for all our local businesses xXx
