HMK Watercolour Castle of Mey Enamel Box

His Majesty King Charles III Castle of Mey Watercolour has been reproduced onto this beautiful handmade enamel box by our skilled artisans at HALCYON DAYS. This  watercolour by His Majesty King Charles III was created when he was HRH The Prince of Wales in 1989. The painting captures the magnificent landscape of The Castle of Mey.

In 1952, HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother saw what was then known as Barrogill Castle while staying with Commander and Lady Doris Vyner at the House of the Northern Gate on Dunnet Head, a short distance to the west.  Despite its poor condition, Her Majesty purchased the castle that year and set about renovating and restoring both the castle and its gardens and parklands, which extended to about 30 acres. She also restored the castle's original name changing Barrogill Castle back to The Castle of Mey.

Her Majesty opened the gardens in aid of Scotland's Gardens Scheme on three days each year, a tradition which the trustees have been pleased to continue.

This enamel box has a forest green base and is beautifully lined with leather. It is perfect for keeping  treasures or serving as a refined decorative work of art, celebrating British heritage and timeless elegance.

Handmade by HALCYON DAYS the interior of this box is adorned with script that reads "Castle of Mey" and "Reproduced from an original watercolour by His Majesty King Charles III."

Halcyon Days was granted HM King Charles III Royal Warrant in 2024, after holding The Royal Warrant to HRH Prince of Wales for over years 37 years since 1987.
