Popped into this fabulous gift shop - no steps, and ample space to manoeuvre about. The owners are married couple Brian and Phil - and you'll almost always find one of them in the store. They've directly sourced the majority of their products from the makers - so there are loads of beautiful Scottish-made gifts: from jewellery, soaps, ceramics, artwork, books and cards and more – many with a cheeky twist. Phil told me there are wheelchair-users in their family, so they were conscientious about creating a good amount of space and displaying items at reachable levels. The front door does not automatically open, but there is a latch to keep it open if people need more time – Brian always on hand to help visitors. It's worth checking their Instagram to double check they are open and not only hols if you're travelling especially to shop (they're usually open!).
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Door isn't automatic, but there is loads of room, no steps - that you often don't find in an independent gift shop.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
At the foot of Leith Walk - very close to bus and tram stops. No parking directly outside, but the big Tesco car park is on the same block as the shop - not too far away.
Accessible Toilets
0No toilets for public use, as expected in a gift shop.
Staff
Excellent
Lovely, friendly staff. Brian and Phil are so knowlegeable about their products and will tell you funny stories about certain pieces, or where the artist/maker is based.
