    I was very impressed by this little shop/art gallery which sells a beautiful range of photo frames…read moreand greetings cards. The gallery at the back of the store displays the artwork. Now my knowledge of art basically extends to I know what I like and I know what I don't like. Some of the paintings in Rowan I liked, some I thought were a bit cheesy. The prices were not on the cheap side but I suppose you pay for good quality.

    The Rowan Gallery is definitely hitting the upper crust of Helensburgh's card shop offerings…read more This is partly to do with the fact that it's not technically a gift shop - there is a large room towards the back of the store selling expensive original prints by local artists! The gift shop part is extremely diverse and sells some exquisite ornaments and housey bits and bobs to please someone on their birthday. A lot of the jewellery, prints and housewares are all on a Scottish theme, but would be an altogether higher class of souvenir should your purpose in the Rowan Gallery be to seek out one of those. They sell some unusual designs, including a Warhol esque print of a Tunnocks tea cake on bags and aprons. They look amazing and is a nice touch for locals and visitors alike. A lot of their jewellery displays are dedicated shrines to the local creative contingency and there are some nice, cheap prints of Scotland on offer amongst the scented candles and fancy piggy banks. But the real treat of the gallery is being able to wander unwatched through to the back room to have a look at the local artists. There are a number of them on display here and the names change frequently. You may be able to stumble upon some high profile stuff if you come in at an opportunistic time; or find a new artist to adore and potentially adorn your house with. The majority of the paintings are unaffordable for the average consumer but failing finding an affordable masterpiece, it's still refreshing to peruse the fresh, white washed gallery and maybe pick up a gift on your way out.

    The Makers was such a pleasant surprise, and having visited twice now, I'm definitely a fan. You…read morecan have lunch, or just tea or coffee with cake. But what's really unique about Makers is the lovely art and designs which surround you, all handcrafted by locals. I also noticed that they had furniture up-cycling classes recently, so it's great that they're trying to establish a creative community in Alloa. The service is really quite relaxed, if a little slow. The Makers is definitely not a quick-stop; it's a sit and chill for a few hours spot, which is just perfect if you're looking for a space to work in or for a meeting. (They have wifi!) The food is made fresh to order and I definitely found it to be worth that little bit of extra wait time. I had the panini from the specials board which was an avocado, sundried tomato and chicken delight with lovely salad and coleslaw on the side. Delicious and filling! Everything that adorns the walls and tables is for sale and it's all lovely. I particularly lusted after the silver jewellery in one of the cabinets. I do hope I can come back soon for a little shopping local indulgence. Makers, keep on making!

    Popped in here for a coffee as I was early to pick up a cake from next door. Was my first time in…read morethe bistro and it was a pleasant surprise, what a lovely find! We had the scone/coffee deal for £3.95 a head. Scone was lovely and fresh and you had the choice of jam and cream or lemon curd. Both very tasty indeed coffees were also lovely and nice and hot! Staff were friendly too and the local handmade crafts for sale is a lovely touch will definitely be back to try their lunch menu and I'm sure I will be upgrading my review to a 5* :-)
