This is a lovely little shop with some very well informed and helpful people running it. They have many brochures, souviners, books, maps and such to purchase. They can help you with making arrangements for holidays and give you very good advice about the surrounding area and what way best to enjoy it. I couldn't say anything at all negative... More

The charity shops were even... More

If I like to describe it in a word, I can say 'pathetic'. I went there to buy some special gift and calender. But I did not find special Scottish things. Even, the other shops have more things than this tourist office. Tourist office should have some special things so that tourist can be attracted. More
