What wonderful smells greet you as you enter this lovely shop. The shopkeeper is so welcoming and full of information. I bought a very unique fish cork trivet as well as soaps. Great prices. Fun items to remember our visit to Skye

I always try to buy a piece of art every time I go away but it’s usually something small, a print of about £20-£30 but I had worked hard throughout lockdown and decided to treat myself. It was going to be a piece of jewellery until I saw some art work I loved in Skye (Portree) . I had visited a couple of shops in the town, one of which I saw art I loved but disliked the way I heard the staff speaking to customers and the fact the art was sold as limited but not signed or numbered. I went to Tippecanoe and saw the same artist’s work but signed and numbered and also fully framed. The woman who served me was so chatty and friendly and absolutely understood that this was a big purchase for me. She was attentive to other customers while I was taking up her time. I found the shop inviting, the staff very friendly and the stock was extensive. I’d definitely go back and definitely recommend it to friends and family if they are ever in Skye
