Highland Cow Family Slate House Sign with House Number

Highland Cow Family Personalised Slate House Sign

Celebrate your "herd" with our bespoke Highland Cow Family slate house sign. A charming evolution of our classic design, this version features an adorable family of four—two adults and two calves—intricately engraved onto high-quality, natural slate. It is the perfect way to add a touch of personality and rustic warmth to your home's exterior, combining traditional craftsmanship with a modern, heart-warming aesthetic.

Each piece of slate is carefully selected for its unique character and deep charcoal tones, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the highly detailed laser-etched artwork. The illustrations capture the curious, friendly expressions of Scotland’s most iconic cattle, ensuring a whimsical welcome for every visitor. By blending the organic textures of riven stone with clean, contemporary typography, this sign serves as more than just a functional address marker—it is a handcrafted statement piece designed to endure the elements while maintaining its sharp, high-contrast finish for years to come.

Please note: Drilling into your external wall will be required for installation.

The Crafting Process

Every sign is individually cut from high-quality slate and finished in our workshop. We use precision laser technology to etch the Highland Cow family and your house number directly into the stone. This process creates a permanent, light-grey mark that contrasts beautifully against the dark slate, ensuring your address remains highly visible from the kerbside even in rainy conditions.

Care & Maintenance

Natural slate is incredibly durable, but a little TLC will keep your "hairy herd" looking sharp for decades.

• Initial Cleaning: Your sign arrives freshly engraved. To enhance the natural deep charcoal tones of the stone, you can wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth and a tiny drop of natural slate oil or food-grade mineral oil.
• General Cleaning: Simply wipe the sign down with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the honed surface.
• Maintaining Contrast: If the engraving appears to fade when wet, don't worry—this is a natural property of stone. Once dry, the light-grey contrast of the laser etching will return to its full clarity.
• Algae & Moss: If positioned in a damp or shaded area, a quick wipe-down every few months will prevent any natural moss build-up from settling into the riven edges.
