There are lots of clothes, shoes, bags, fine goods, household decor, and kitchen supplies, as well as a nice stock of jams, sweets, and baked goods. The cafe is really good and is well worth a visit, but it can get very crowded. Get there in plenty of time to grab a good table! The parking lot is ample sized with large spaces, but it will fill up early. It seems to be a very popular place for tourists.

Brodie country fayre is a kind of rustic department store near Brodie castle. It has a range of clothes and homewear products. At the back is a department store style restaurant, however, the specials do seem to be just that. I had slow roasted pork with a apple and red cabbage accompaniment in a rich gravy which I really enjoyed. Whilst most of the products weren't for me, the deli section was great. Of course it's a bit pricey, but I think for an occasional treat that's ok, and the quality really was good. I probably won't return to Brodie country fayre for anything but food, but don't let that put you off. If you can spare some time and you're in the area pop in. And if the word saga often appears in your holiday choices, this is probably something you would REALLY enjoy. I'd recommend it.

Upstairs there is costumes and novelty items along with household things like bedding and curtains/towels, to childrens toys. Downstairs there is a vast selection of occassion cards and occasion gifts and items for birthdays, weddings, engagements and so on. At the very back there is a selection of 99p or less items which is kind of like an aladdins cave. They have recently taken in some really cool car accessories which has certainly delighted my husband. At the front of the shop there is a selection of smellies and ornaments, candles etc, as well as a selection of ready made highland dress items, from kilts, and shirts, to sporrans, belts and pins. This shop is most definately known for its selection of costumes for halloween. They always put on a fantastic display for different holidays/seasons throughout the year, which are very enticing, especially there window displays which are always dramatic at halloween. Christmas is another fantastic time, and they always have there stock busting from the seams, fantastic stuff. Because this shop is a very popular shop it does get very busy, and with the till at the front of the shop where the entrance is it can mean that customers are pushing past and trying to move, not good at all another down side, is that disabled individuals and those that find it hard to climb stairs have no way of accessing the upper level as there is only a staircase, which is not very fair as they are missing out on a lot. Apart from that though the shop is fantastic, the staff are lovely, very helpful and always polite, the stock is quality. Parking is never a problem as the shop is situated right smack bang in the middle of the high street with parking behind the shop as well as behind the other shops at the opposite side.

And they keep bees, just because it's in line with their environmentally conscious, B Corp rated way of thinking. I admit, the tour we took was not high on my list of things to do in Scotland, but that was before I took the tour. It was very informative and educational, and I so enjoyed seeing the production end of things. I took a ton of pictures and geeked out a bit about midway through. The items in the shop are high end, meaning pricey, but so clearly way above average and of exceptional quality. I happily succumbed.

From anything from home such as electronics, beds, carpets, furniture... To beauty, clothes and toys, fabrics and little presents. I'm not sure if it's the best place to dress for woman up to 35/40 years old.. But the home stuff is just lovely to watch for any age group! The only downside I have notice with some products, the quality went a bit down for the price it costs. You would expect a table for almost £1000 to be at least stable and from a good solid material.. Otherwise, I still love going there time to time even just to have a look and their catalogs are full of inspiration :) Regarding the staff, they are always helpful, polite and not pushy - and that's one of the reasons why I prefer to go there rather than other department stores where you can meet unnecessarily too many employees trying to engage conversation with you. I prefer my own time and when I need somebody I will ask and there is always somebody in sight

It combines the old with the new seamlessly and has the best selection of shops around. If it's raining, you can get everything you need in here without even stepping foot outside. Heck, if it's blazing sunshine you won't have to step outside. They have every shop you could possibly want in here - new look, french connection, office, Zara, schuh, debenhams, gap and many more. The centre itself is really nice and welcoming and always had a nice atmosphere. There is never any groups of teenage goths standing around either - which I always thought came any shopping centre. The food court is good too, although there could be more seats. They have pizzas, burgers, salads and sandwiches. It's a lovely and clean environment, if I want to go shopping when I'm home I always come here.
