Name of Shop: The Saltire Shop
The Saltire Shop as the name would suggest contains everything Scottish. The shop is large and spacious, a new addition to Aberdeen shops and a welcome addition to the usual High Street Stores. It really is a fun place to browse with some serious shopping items and a lot of funny novelty items as well.
What To Buy: I did consider buying Finn a tiny baby Scotland Strip but resisted temtation till he is a little bigger. They have a cute range of kids clothes, toys and other kiddy things. Adults are not excluded either with some nice clothing and funny novelties too. I did buy a bib which pronounced 'Of course I'm cute I'm Scottish' I hasten to add this was not for personal use but I did think the t-shirt in the window would have suited me well.
What To Pay: Prices are good for the quality of goods.

Blacks Outdoor Specialists: Outdoor Clothing at half price

Name of Shop: Blacks Outdoor Specialists
Blacks is part of a chain of sport and outdoor wear stores which includes Millets and Freespirit. I like Blacks the most out of this chain as it has more choices of outdoor wear. The staff are all young people, very knowledgable and always ready with a friendly smile.
What To Buy: If you can resist shopping - as I can - wait until after mid summer when they will have upto 50% reductions on most stock. I bought some t-shirts, walking trousers and a hooded jacket. I can't be that much of a bargain hunter because I just checked my receipt and two identical t-shirt , apart from colour, had a £7.00 difference in price!!
What To Pay: Prices are not cheap here - this is why I only really shop here when they have a sale.

Ottakar's: Spend some time in a Book Shop

Name of Shop: Ottakar's
Ottakar's is a large book store in the city, it has two floors with books on any subject you care to read about. I usually spend far too much money and a great deal of time in these shops, but then reading is such a pleasure for me. You can have a coffee here in pleasant surroundings and of course start reading your purchases.
What To Buy: I usually buy travel guides here, they have such a varied selection.
What To Pay: Depends on the book but the travel guide books cost from £5.00 to £15.00

Name of Shop: Craft Fair
Everything Scottish for sale from clothing to furniture. No mass produced items - some very original clothing & jewellery.
What To Buy: I really likes the coffee table made out of an old Scottish tree stump - but with a price tag of £1,600 I changed my mind & bought some handmade soap & a Haggis whistle!!
What To Pay: As much as you can afford.

Spectacular scenery! Thanks for giving us a virtual tour of your village, it really is lovely! Wallace's fate makes us remember how cruel people can be. Liked the updates with lovely new pictures. | Nemorino Tue Oct 20, 2009 15:21 UTC
It's been nearly a year since I last looked at this page, so I thought I'd check back for additions. Interesting updates on the long granite façade and the River Ythan and the Castle Gate area. | holly39 Thu May 7, 2009 02:15 UTC
