This gallery is punching well above its weight. It has an eclectic collection of quality artists exhibiting and they change regularly as the paintings sell!! Good selection of books and cards , jewellery and some lovely glassworks and glassware too! The proprietors know their business and are helpful friendly advisers. Its a destination in itself of you are in Argyll.

Dear reviewer Your review us very much appreciated by Rae and I. Without local support, which is the foundation of our business, we would not be in our 13th year. A big thank you to you and all our Argyll and Bute customers. More

A wonderful selection of lovely things, including art, jewellery, home-ware, gifts and books. Very helpful, friendly owners. We went in just before it was due to close for the day and the owners acted as if we had all the time in the world. When we returned the following day, I bought some gorgeous bright red, square dinner plates, a... More

Great selection of books, with a useful section on local history and nautical matters. Proper artists' materials, good quality gifts (including Arran Aromatics bath and body products), and some extremely tasteful jewellery (take a look at the... More
