Orkney Vole Doormat #1 | Vole-Mouse Welcome Mat

Small but mighty, secretive, and utterly extraordinary — the Orkney Vole (Microtus arvalis orcadensis) is one of Britain's most fascinating native mammals and a true island endemic. Known locally as the Cuttick (also spelled Cutto or Cuttoo), and sometimes called the Volo, Voldro, or Vole-mouse, this remarkable little creature is found on the Orkney Islands, off the northern coast of mainland Scotland. A subspecies of the common vole, the Orkney Vole is actually larger and heavier than its mainland relative — bigger than a mouse, with a rounded head and a relatively short tail — a distinct island form that has evolved in isolation over thousands of years, making it a beloved symbol of Orkney's remarkable natural heritage.

This Orkney Vole coir doormat features a portrait-style illustration of a Cuttick alongside the word HOME — a charming, nature-proud welcome for every visitor who crosses your threshold.

Made from durable natural coir fibers (coconut), this wildlife welcome mat effectively traps dirt and debris while adding a warm, welcoming touch to your entryway. The sturdy non-slip backing helps keep the mat securely in place, making it suitable for front doors, porches, and covered outdoor areas.

Available in three sizes, this Orkney Vole coir doormat fits a variety of entryways and spaces — a thoughtful gift for any wildlife enthusiast, Orkney lover, or fan of nature-themed home décor.

Can this mat be used outdoors?
This natural coir doormat is best suited for covered or sheltered outdoor areas such as porches and covered entryways. Coir is a natural fiber that performs best when protected from direct rain and prolonged moisture.
