Maritime Candles
Candles inspired by Scotland’s coast
From sea-washed shores and rocky coves to the fresh scent of salt air, our maritime candles are inspired by the coastlines of Scotland and the ever-changing waters surrounding the Isle of Arran.
Hand-poured in small batches using premium organic wax, each candle brings together coastal fragrance, natural colour and sculptural form to create a little reminder of life beside the sea.
Coastal Fragrances, Inspired by Arran
The sea is never far away on Arran. Quiet beaches, windswept headlands, seaweed-covered rocks and woodland paths opening suddenly onto the shore all provide inspiration for our coastal collection.
Fragrances such as sea kelp, driftwood, juniper and fresh marine notes have been chosen to evoke that unmistakable feeling of being beside the water — clean, calming and naturally uplifting.

Handmade maritime candles
Every Clachaig candle is poured and finished by hand, giving each one its own individual character.
Our maritime collection includes sculptural pillar candles and decorative designs inspired by waves, shells and the natural textures of the shore. They are designed to look beautiful unlit as part of your home, while releasing their coastal fragrance when burned.
Bring the coast into your home
Coastal styling does not need to mean obvious nautical décor. A beautifully scented candle can bring a quieter suggestion of the sea into a room.
Pair maritime candles with natural wood, linen, weathered ceramics, shells or a few stems gathered from the garden for a relaxed Scottish coastal feel.
They work particularly well in bathrooms, bedrooms, conservatories and calm living spaces where fresh fragrance and natural textures can help create a peaceful atmosphere.
Inspired by sea, shore and island life
Living on an island means noticing the sea in all its moods — bright and sparkling in summer, still and silvery on quiet mornings, or wild beneath a winter sky.
Those changing colours, scents and landscapes are part of the story behind our maritime candles. Rather than recreating one particular beach, each design captures something of the wider feeling of coastal Scotland and island life.
A Thoughtful Gift from Scotland
Maritime candles make lovely gifts for anyone who loves Scotland, the coast or simply the fresh, relaxed feeling of being near the sea.
Whether chosen as a reminder of a favourite holiday, a Scottish housewarming gift or a little piece of Arran for someone farther away, every candle is carefully wrapped and prepared by hand.
