But we also found some delightful little shops. It's a great place to grab some Highlands and Scottish mementos. But the highlight for us was a place that provided frameable family heritage writeups with associated crests, etc. based on family name. It was a wonderful gift for our daughter-in-law, whose roots are Scottish. This place was not just for Scottish names but for many other European names as well. For food options, there were several tempting choices, but Bad Girl Bakery offered good sandwiches and baked goods, while Salt and Fire had some good veg pita options. If you're in Inverness, this retail complex is worth a stop.

They also have a homewear section with includes bathroom accessories, bedding, lighting and general finishing touches such as photo frames etc. The store is well layed out and it is easy to see items.

They have a good selection of shoes and hand bags. There is plently of parking outside the store which is handy, especially when buying larger items. There are good changing rooms available. The staff are friendly and helpful and any queues are kept to a minimum. They have several sales each year where they slash goods to half price or less. These are very popular and you can find some good bargins if you can stand raking through the rails with a pile of other shoppers.

If you are searching for a shop to purchase souvenirs in Edinburgh, Scotland, then Edinburgh Woolen…read moreMill is a store that you may want to check out. They carry a ton of different merchandise made in Scotland. You can find everything from clothes to food and everything in between. Unfortunately, we only had about 30 minutes to explore the store. It was not enough time to find great deals. The products we were interested in were priced higher than other stores we had visited that day. We ended up purchasing nothing. There were staff present, but no one assisted us. If someone had, then we probably would have bought some goods. Although, we were unsuccessful in finding good deals, you may be lucky. Check them out for yourself when you are visiting Edinburgh, Scotland.

So the three stars is because this store only had ONE small table of sweaters made in England!!…read more The name is very misleading as nothing in the store is made in Edinburgh, or indeed anywhere in Scotland, and so if you purchase anything from this shop, the money isn't really supporting local industry. On the plus side, you can get everything at a great price, but for me, I really want to shop and support local. The gentleman at the counter was really very nice and friendly, but overall I was disappointed. Yelp 70/ 2019

It was definitely indulgent but the Mars Bar itself kind of got lost in the process or seemed to melt away in the frying. The staff was friendly and they've got a decent whisky selection too.
