The Highland Plectrum Co. is a Scottish maker of handmade coin guitar picks, operating from a small workshop at the foot of Ben Nevis in Fort William, in the Scottish Highlands. Each plectrum is fashioned from a genuine coin — spanning currencies and eras from around the world — with edges and ridges carefully removed, beveled, and finished to a high polish. All picks are crafted one at a time to maintain consistent quality.

The range includes picks made from USA quarters, Mexican pesos, Japanese 5 yen coins, Soviet kopecks, French centimes, and various British coins including King George VI half pennies and two-shilling pieces. Among the most popular offerings is the "Brian May Inspired" sixpence plectrum, a nod to the Queen guitarist's well-known habit of playing with a silver sixpence. The use of different coin alloys — brass, copper, nickel, silver — gives each pick a distinct tonal character, producing brighter, more articulate tones than conventional plastic plectrums. The Highland Plectrum Co. sells through Reverb, Etsy, eBay, and Amazon UK.
