Accessible shop with lovely jewellery and very interesting to see how its made. Good for a quick stop off if you are in Pitlochry.

Overall Rating
Good
There is an Exhibition area with a short film about how Heather Gems are made, then a viewing area where you can see the crafters actually working which is fantastic! The shop is bright and accessible, with a variety of gifts which we all enjoyed looking at the lovely colours , this is a good talking point and engaging for someone living with dementia. Prices are reasonable and usually have a sale section.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The Heather Gems is full accessible all on the one level, no steps , plenty of room to move a wheelchair around.
Parking & Transport
Good
From the Main road you can drive right up and park right outside entrance. There are a couple of disabled spaces. All parking is free.
Accessible Toilets
0Doesn’t have toilets, as this is a shop with no Café , you can always go back over to Victoria’s the café across the road and use their toilet.
Staff
Good
