Dram & Dine — Brave Scottish branding & website for a wee tavern.
Clear and honest communication with all our prices upfront
Packaged in Ballater 🏴
A family-run Scottish tavern aiming to attracting both locals and tourists with hearty food, whisky pairings, and live folk music. They wanted a brand that was bold, brave, and proudly Scottish.
The Challenge
They needed a visual identity and web presence that could:
Stand out in a tourist-heavy town
Reflect their Scottish roots with a modern edge
Be used across menus, signage, social media, and their website
The Solution
I created a bold, character-rich brand with:
A logo featuring a dram glass, thistle icon, and hand-drawn wordmark
A deep, rich colour palette with whisky tones, forest green, and charcoal
A menu design with rustic texture and clear layout
A one-page website concept with reservation button, gallery, and live music calendar
A fun brand mascot: “Granny Morag” — the friendly face of the tavern!
The Result
The brand evokes pride, warmth, and heritage. It appeals to locals who value authenticity, and tourists looking for a “real” Scottish experience. The strong visual identity makes it easy to extend across signage, social media, and merchandise.
