Thank you for letting our dogs in to your book shop. Very excited to read Midnight Sun which I bought from you. Would highly recommend. The lady who runs the shop is absolutely lovely!

I was in Dornoch on Wednesday with my husband and 19 year old son and we found the young man who served us to be very friendly and very knowledgeable about the whiskies and gins and he was very helpful especially with his in depth knowledge of whisky. A brilliant wee shop with a good range of whiskies and craft gins. Will be visiting again.

Rockpool

Reviewed By jeanmertzanakis - Athens, Greece

Our visit to Lochinver ended with a visit to Rockpool - unassuming from the outside but a treasurer trove on the inside. Beautiful gifts for all the family - toys and activities for children, lovely jewellery, particularly the semi-precious stones in celtic designs, attractive items for each room of the house, to mention just a few. The owner is charming, knowledgeable and helpful and her shop is prettily laid out, light and bright. Don't miss Rockpool when you're in Lochinver - a lovely browse with something for every pocket.

Highland Stoneware

We have been making our unique collection of quality pottery to use and enjoy, in Lochinver, for over 40 years. Each piece is entirely made and freehand painted by exceptionally skilled craftspeople. Visitors are welcome to look round the pottery and watch whatever processes are going on(more can be seen on weekday mornings!). You can also buy from our shop and our outdoor mosaics make a fantastic photo opportunity!

Reviewed By Lincsman

From the 'sculptures' outside made from broken crockery to the staff hand painting stoneware inside, we found our visit interesting. The staff working were kind enough to answer our questions about the pottery and glazing process.
