A characterful way to deepen your connection to this special corner of Scotland, this handmade print of Belted Galloway coos lets you take home a little taste of Dumfries and Galloway - whether you're a local, a visitor, or simply a lover of quirky cows!
Known affectionately as Belties, these iconic black-and-white cows are a familiar sight in the region. There's a quiet charm to the way a herd of these monochrome marvels move across their field - and I couldn't resist capturing them in print.
This design is printed by hand through stencils onto softly textured Zerkall paper, which is torn for a deckled edge. The result is a minimalist composition with maximum personality — a quiet celebration of the rural landscape of south west Scotland.
Fun fact: The name Team BG was a playful nod to Team GB during the London Olympics back in 2012, when I printed the very first batch (or herd!). Not surprisingly, it’s still one of my most-loved prints — who can resist a Beltie pic?
Here’s why this one's a favourite with both locals and visitors:
- A charming tribute to one of Scotland’s most iconic native breeds
- The bold black silhouettes create a striking contemporary look
- Comes mounted and beautifully presented — the framed version is ready to hang instantly (this is not a standard frame size, so framed is your most convenient option)
- A thoughtful gift for countryside lovers, proud Scots, or anyone with fond memories of Dumfries and Galloway
- Brings a sense of place, personality, and a quiet smile to any wall
