About This Design

Mountain Hare in Scotland Travel Postcard

Mountain Hare in Scotland Travel Postcard

Scotland is the last stronghold in Britain for the mountain hare (Lepus timidus), a species uniquely adapted to the country’s upland environments. Unlike the brown hare found in lowland areas, the mountain hare thrives in the Highlands, Cairngorms, and Grampian Mountains, where its thick fur and powerful legs help it endure cold, snowy conditions. One of its most striking features is its seasonal coat change—from a soft brown or grey in summer to a brilliant white in winter, allowing it to blend seamlessly into snow-covered landscapes. This camouflage makes it both elusive and captivating for wildlife watchers. Mountain hares play a significant role in Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage, yet their future is uncertain. Populations have declined in some areas due to habitat loss, climate change, and culling associated with grouse moor management. In response, conservationists have pushed for greater protections, and in 2020, the mountain hare was granted legal protection under Scottish law. Today, these charismatic creatures continue to symbolise the fragile beauty of Scotland’s uplands. Spotting one darting across a windswept ridge or curled against the snow is a special reward for those who explore the country’s remote, elevated wilds.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
