Nice gift & souvenir shop in Inverness, Scotland. They sell a multitude of items. Took us awhile…read moreto decide which items to purchase for souvenirs for our home. We were happy with what we bought. Prices seemed fair compared to the other stores we stopped at. Granted we only went to a couple of other shops. The service provided by the staff member was friendly and helpful. The shop was clean and well organized. Because of this one time experience, I can recommend Caledonian gifts & souvenirs to tourists like myself.

Yes, Morrisons carries them - when they bother to restock. And, yes, Tesco may very well have them, but they're 2/10ths of a mile further in the rain - so, who really knows if they carry them? HOWEVER Caledonian Gifts DOES have them - and so earns the praise due those that provide - THANK YOU!

I think this shop is brilliant! I am passionate about the Fairtrade Movement, and so I think it's…read morereally good that Dornoch, having had Fairtrade status for a few years, now has a wonderful shop dedicated to selling fairly traded products and helping people work their way out of desperate situations and get themselves a decent standard of living. I can do almost all of my Christmas and general gift shopping there, because there's such a wide variety of stuff from all over the world. Of course, I can't resist all the yummy food, chocolate and sweeties either! :D The atmosphere is always friendly - indeed the door is often opened for you as you go in! They play a lot of world music which makes a great change from the mainstream stuff that one hears in many shops. You're sure to find something really different for presents or even just to treat yourself! Fantastic little shop and I hope to see more Simply The Best shops opening elsewhere in the future :D

Harbour Treasures is a little shop down by the Lossiemouth harbour. We shopped there just before…read moreChristmas in 2007 and found the most adorable Christmas tree decorations. We plan on shopping there again this year to see what little trinkets we can find. They also sell gifts and jewellery for all ages. They have little quirky gifts for children, mimicking old style toys like spinning tops and wooden soldiers. They also sell very modern and unique gifts such as Christmas decoration and table lamps in styles of high heels and boots. It really is a little treasure trove with lots of little nooks and crannies to explore.

What a cute spot. We walked from our B&B and took a look around. If I hadn't just eaten breakfast I…read morewould have walked out with cheese and wine. The workers were welcoming and friendly, and it seems like a great place to get some edible souvenirs for family and friends back home.

I love this quirky touristy shop on Aberlour High Street in the centre of Aberlour town just beside…read morethe piazza. You go in for a snoop around and out you come with a few goodies. HOW come? Well, if and when you visit this shop you will find out why :-) It's the power of persuasion of beautifully displayed items that tempt your consciousness and you won't know what happened until it does. I think they petty much sell everything from typically touristy to every day items like whiskey, tea pots, egg holders, chutney, honey, shortbread, chocolate, cakes, teas , napkins, wine, special beer, gin, fish, sausages, salmon, caviar.......and much more. If you have the time don't miss out and stop there for a bit of browsing.

The Falls of Shin was a lovely place to visit this November. We were lucky to spot some salmon…read morejumping through the water, even on a cold wet day. Aswell as the falls, there are lovely walks through the forest with different wildlife to spot. There were walks suitable for everyone, and we had no problem even with a buggy and mother who has had two knee replacements. There is a large free car park which accomodates all vehicles. There were a couple of buses there at the time, this however did not affect the visitor centre too much. The Harrods gift shop is well worth a wee look. Staff are very welcoming and approachable, even though there was a good few older people, there was still plenty of room for us to manoever the buggy! Gifts are reasonable priced and the usual Harrods bags are available to buy. The restaurant was ver good value for money, around £7.00 per main meal and all meals were plentiful. The salads were especially appetising! For the children there is a large play park and also a mini assault course to keep them amused! Well worth a visit for all the family, at any time of year!

If you are searching for a shop to purchase souvenirs in Edinburgh, Scotland, then Edinburgh Woolen…read moreMill is a store that you may want to check out. They carry a ton of different merchandise made in Scotland. You can find everything from clothes to food and everything in between. Unfortunately, we only had about 30 minutes to explore the store. It was not enough time to find great deals. The products we were interested in were priced higher than other stores we had visited that day. We ended up purchasing nothing. There were staff present, but no one assisted us. If someone had, then we probably would have bought some goods. Although, we were unsuccessful in finding good deals, you may be lucky. Check them out for yourself when you are visiting Edinburgh, Scotland.

So the three stars is because this store only had ONE small table of sweaters made in England!!…read more The name is very misleading as nothing in the store is made in Edinburgh, or indeed anywhere in Scotland, and so if you purchase anything from this shop, the money isn't really supporting local industry. On the plus side, you can get everything at a great price, but for me, I really want to shop and support local. The gentleman at the counter was really very nice and friendly, but overall I was disappointed. Yelp 70/ 2019

This is a fun vintage market in the middle of Inverness that offers some interesting shops and good…read morefood opportunities. The ambiance is cool and that in itself makes it worth the stop. But we also found some delightful little shops. It's a great place to grab some Highlands and Scottish mementos. But the highlight for us was a place that provided frameable family heritage writeups with associated crests, etc. based on family name. It was a wonderful gift for our daughter-in-law, whose roots are Scottish. This place was not just for Scottish names but for many other European names as well. For food options, there were several tempting choices, but Bad Girl Bakery offered good sandwiches and baked goods, while Salt and Fire had some good veg pita options. If you're in Inverness, this retail complex is worth a stop.

When you are in Inverness, Scotland, I recommend dropping by Victorian Market. It is located in…read morethe heart of the city, and it is the home to many shops and other businesses. Do not miss stepping into their Food and Drink Hall. When we were there, it was bustling with activity. Basically, it is a large food court that you would find in a shopping mall in the States only the Food and Drink Hall is better in my opinion. First thing, we did was to try and find a spot to sit. The place was packed! A kind gentleman gave up his table for my wife and I. Thank you good Sir!! There were about a dozen food vendors to choose from. We chose to try Blazin Pizza. What an awesome choice!!! Definitely the best pizza that I have ever eaten in the entire United Kingdom!! We visited July 2024, and they have probably left the Victorian Market by now. The owners were looking for someone to take over their spot at the Food and Drink Hall. Hopefully, the business that takes over makes great pizza too!! Wish we had more time to explore the Victorian Market. We did not have the time to spare to see all that it had to offer. Til next time!
