   Caithness Glass- Is a world leader in the creation and manufacture of high quality paperweights and art glass. Since 1961 Caithness report that they have taken inspiration from the colours of the Scottish landscape - warm peaty tones, heather purple, golden sunsets, the grey blue of the lochs. In 1968, they added glass engraving to their superb skills, and in 1969, developed innovative techniques for producing abstract paperweights. Today, over 30 years later, paperweight studios in Perth combine the finest design and traditional skills to create pieces which are entirely unique. Caithness Crystal Glass are well worth a visit.
