Gift shops and books

A contemporary gallery featuring original artworks by Scottish artists as well as a wide selection of jewellery, scarfs, bags and glassware, Allium is a lovely shop for a look round, while at Maisies Boutique you’ll find a beautiful selection of cards, homeware, jewellery, candles, handbags, scarfs, pocket money toys and personalised baby gifts.

With flowers to suit all occasions, and prices to suit all budgets, why not brighten someone’s day and say it with flowers with a gorgeous gift from Blossom Flowers. While the beautiful occasion bouquets created by Flowers by Emily Henderson are made using a variety of locally sourced flowers.

4-legged furry friends don’t miss out either. The Little Pad offers a full range of high quality Scottish made dog products, including collars/lead sets, beds, grooming products and dog treats. Their grooming salon also provides the perfect place for your dog to look and feel their best.

After a period of closure, the popular local shop, Ferry Fair Book Shop is once again a welcome sight on the High Street. Second-hand fiction, non-fiction and children’s books are all available here and all proceeds go towards the town’s annual Ferry Fair Festival.

Homewares

For those with an eye for the old and unusual, make sure you take time to go to Sea Kist, a quaint antique shop with all items being related to the high seas. From old watercolour paintings to replica models of ships, a browse here reveals all sorts of trinkets and treasures.

Tucked away down a narrow lane, be sure not to miss Harbour Lane Studio. Everything in this pretty gallery has been made and designed by artists working in Scotland, either by hand or in small batches, from table lamps to cushions. For something equally unique, pop along to Chloe Gardner Art for a delightful range of prints, greetings cards, mugs, tableware, bags, cushions and much more.
