They have a huge range of frames which they make to order, and they will cut mounts to order also. They very often have some reasonably priced ready made frames available to buy - the ones made from offcuts are particularly good value. The staff are always very helpful about giving advice if it is required. The range of gifts and postcards is growing all the time, and includes jewellery and mugs, There's also a range of 'Spaekin Orcadian' goods - t-shirts, coasters, etc with Orcadian dialect words and their meanings printed on them, which make great holiday gifts or mementoes.

I'll not say anything that the previous reviewer already said, but will add that you no longer need…read moreto pay to see the gallery of tapestries. In fact, there's an extension being built right now to house even more, plus art from Leila's daughter. The gallery now sells a huge selection of prints, as is, mounted or framed, plus 'hand tufted' rugs with designs from some of the tapestries. Definitely worth a visit if in the South Isles, though only really possible by car unless you want to spend the best part of a day walking there & back from St. Margarets Hope.

This is a lovely well gallery. It's a bit 'off the beaten track' but is signposted from the village…read moreof St Margaret's Hope. The views from the gallery are stunning - and you can continue on to Hoxa Head and see the remians of wartime buildings. Inside the gallery you can watch Leila Thomson working creating one of her huge tapestries. If you pay to go into the gallery you can see more examples of her work hanging - it's stunning. She sells postcards and prints of some of her tapestries so you can take a memento home - if you want to but a tapestry I believe you have to commission one and ther's a waiting list - yes, she is that good.

They opened at midnight for the release of Harry Potter and the deathly hallows, which is where I got my copy from. It was a nice atmosphere and it felt good to support a small independent business rather than order off amazon. If you're ever in this neck of the woods then have a look.

What a cool shop!! While exploring Kirkwall, Orkney, and the surrounding area of this part of…read moreScotland, we came upon Judith Glue. Looked like a good place to check out for souvenirs so Wifey and I dropped in to check them out. This shop is more than just a souvenir shop as we soon found out. They have an assortment of merchandise plus a cafe. The cafe is situated at the back of the shop. All the merchandise is located at the front of the store. The merchandise that stood out to me were all the lovely sweaters. I believe they were all made locally. Speaking of made locally, Wifey spotted a beautiful piece of artwork that she absolutely had to have for our home. The decorative plate was created by one of the local artists! By the way, the price was more than fair and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you are visiting the area, you are sure to find a souvenir that you want here. Make sure to check out this shop whenever you are in this part of Scotland!!

After checking out the magnificent St. Magnus Cathedral, I wandered out of the front door longing…read morefor something to drink and right in front of me was a Judith Glue shop and tearoom, so headed here to quench my thirst. So, I found two flavours of San Pellegrino that haven't seen anywhere else (Aranciata Amara and Melograno e Arancia). Re food - the Bannock with local chutney and cheese was scrumptious although I did get a slab of butter and bit into it thinking it was cheese! Also got salmon sandwich as takeaway - great local food and the coffee shop has the local handmade chairs so got to sit in those and they were very comfy! The cafe does have free wifi but the signal was very bad (bummer!) The shop has lovely postcards, amazing pottery and beautiful hand knit sweaters. Some stuff was marked down, but unfortunately nothing in my size, so I might be heading to their website soon for retail therapy. Would totally recommend stopping in.

This is a really nice shop - packed with a huge amount of stuff. There's gifts galore - jewellery,…read moreceramics, CDs, books,, ornaments . In fact the biggest drawback is that there is so much stuff - and all packed into a relatively small space - that it's quite hard to take in. Also, because of this I would say it's not a great shop to visit with small children - and probably not wheelchair friendly either. Through the back of the shop if the gallery - which again is very small, but always has some lovely work on display. The gallery hosts different exhibitions throughout the year - which range from woodwork to ceramics, glass, photography and paintings. There's definitely something for everyone here - if you can find it
