Finally! An antique warehouse where I can actually afford something. Whilst this Aladdin's Cave…read morestill contains many high end, beautiful pieces of history, they also have some little nick nacks that can brighten up and add interest to any home. We are now the proud owners of a Bakelite clock. I could have happily spent a lot more money in there, but then, how to get it all home? Plenty to look through, and helpfully categorised by type. Cheviot Antiques also offers a range of new goods, inkeeping with an antique style.

Drum Farm is incredibly cool. It's a big old warehouse type space full of furniture and other…read morehousehold pieces spanning several centuries. It looks like the space houses the collections of a few different dealers, so the right side of the building tends towards smaller kitchy-er stuff, and the left side tends towards larger pieces. There are also loads of chairs up and random bits stuck on a makeshift mezzanine level. We spoke briefly with someone who was unloading a truck who said that stock turnover is pretty high so you could easily pop in here once a week and see new things every time. Very cool, very funky and very much full of things I want in my house.

It's such a shame for a small village to have hardly any facilities available to passing trade our group was glad to see this place, that has one side that is used as an antique shop and the other for a tea room. The cafe has not got a hot food licence so can only offer sandwiches and a bowl of soup if you are lucky, we where at least able to get a good cup of tea and something to eat to recharge our batteries. My friend had a sandwich with the only choice available being cheese and tomato, but there is a good selection of home baking on display. The lady that served us was nice and chatty, that made our visit a pleasant experience.

Not only did the owners stay open a little later for us they also allowed us to bring in our wee dog and we were then treated to an assortment of homemade soup, freshly baked cakes and teas and coffees all at a very reasonable price. The two ladies running the shop are just lovely - really friendly and chatty added to the whole experience and you are surrounded by beautiful, ornate vintage homeware and oddities. It's like a step back in time this little gem of a place where your tea is served in beautiful china tea cups and saucers in a homely enviroment. Definitely worth stopping in if you are passing through / in the area.

I was instantly attracted to this shop by all the antiques lined up in the window. The brooches and…read moregorgeous porcelain ladies galore made my eyes bulge in awe. It's very small, but utterly brimming with stock. It makes me feel like I'm in someone's attic, it's very personal. The collection ranges from old 1920s pocket mirrors to beautifully binded books, with nouveau inspired flowers running up the spine. The woman stationed behind the desk is absolutely lovely, and although it is an intimate setting she leaves you free to browse without badgering you to buy. The brooch collections are surprisingly cheap and she has a box full of antique postcards. There's something melancholy about rooting through a box full of heartfelt scribblings from another time, but it is nevertheless interesting. For film makers and art projects at least the donated, personalised cards and monochrome photographs would come to a good use. A Pandora's box of yesterday's treasure that you would willingly open if you're into well preserved, pretty bygones.

One of only 2 stores on the Royal Mile that is still owned and operated by the same family. The…read moreowners have amassed an amazing collection of truly beautiful pieces of jewelry from a range of prices. You'll find £200 silver rings from the 90s to priceless sapphire necklaces from the 1700s. But for as exquisite as their pieces are, the owners are extremely friendly and, if you ask, will tell you all about the various eras of the Royal Mile. My fiancée tried on a gorgeous silver necklace from a 1940s/50s contemporary of Frida Kahlo, and provided us with a packet of documentation proving it. After buying the piece (it looks amazing on her) we looked up the jewelry designer and found that, frankly, they could have been charging a lot more for the necklace. We walked away with an amazing deal, a beautiful necklace, and probably the best interaction I've ever had at a jewelry shop in my life.

If you're looking for a box full of oddities and trinkets, they're not to be found in here.

In like new condition and utterly gorgeous, the old dressers and ornate, 1920s cupboards are beguiling as well as being extremely well preserved. Admittedly I was on the hunt for some wee collectables, so I didn't come out of here with a wardrobe. I live in Glasgow, so it would've been difficult lugging it back home. I did however appreciate the courtesy of the shop owner, and the ripest pickings of his antiques.
