The Collectique is an antiques and collectors store in Falkirk's town centre. It's not huge, but…read moreit's always worth a wander around to see what treats they have - you're bound to find something unique. They have all kinds of things, from art and furniture to stamps and train sets. I recommend going in with an open mind and not much of a plan of what to buy, ready to find the unexpected. That said, the staff seem to know their stuff, so I suspect that if you wanted something specific they'd be able to help - either to sell you it themselves, or to point you to where else you might find it. I like their old, leather bound books and the costume jewellery, but the ornaments and little knick-knacks they have are always intriguing too. I suspect that wandering around in here to kill a few minutes is something that will turn into a habit for me now that I've found the place.
