This is one of the pit stops along the route back to Edinburgh after Rabbie's Loch Ness tours. It's…read morelocated in a really cute area (yes, there's a bridge) and the shop is quite expansive. In fact, it's the only place I bothered to buy souvenirs from while in Scotland! It's a true one-stop shop. There's even an express cafe. Bathrooms are across the way. I'm happy with my magnets and mythical book.

The Officer's Club, a nationwide chain of discount fashion stores, has to be - in my opinion - one…read moreof the best men's retailers in Inverness. Don't get fooled by the constant stream of 70% off everything sales - these are not really sales, and the RRP prices are merely figments of a marketing scheme to make you believe you're getting a fantastic bargain. Nonetheless, the prices you pay are very good, regardless of whether they're in a sale or at full price. Good quality T-Shirts for a fiver, jeans for £15-£20 and much, much more. The customer service really isn't up to much - there's normally only one person visible in the shop (two at busy times), and they're generally reading a book until the point when you approach them. But that doesn't take away from the fact that you will find something in there that you like, and at a price you'll love.

This makes it an ideal starting point for finding your shopping trip. The staff generally know their stuff about the latest fashions, and can give solid advice about what will suit you. All this is provided at a much healthier price than you would pay at similar clothing retailers such as UFC and Top Man. A fantastic range of clothing if offered, with casual clothes such as jeans, T shirts and casual jumpers, to smart suits, shirts and ties, and smart jackets. A personal favourite is the range of retro Football shirts which are available at reasonable prices.

The quality of the clothing is good and it is fairly reasonably priced. The best time to go is when the sales are on as they reduce stuff a lot and there are some great bargains to be had.

Vanity Fayre is a super independent shop, situated in the centre of the main high street. Easily…read moreaccessible for anyone, as it is on the level with no stairs, unfortunately inside the shop to get to the clothes there is a mini step, which I guess would possibly make this a little difficult for individuals who are wheelchair bound. The shop has a selection of clothes for women of all shapes and sizes which are definately kept within the seasons, and fashionable, as well as being suitable for each individual. The prices are reasonable, and garments of high quality. The sales within the shop are always great and you have to get there quick to ensure you get what you want, as many of the garments are snapped up quickly. Vanity fayre has a fair selection and if they have nothing in that you want they are always willing to order anything in, in any style and any size. Very popular for there fashion shows, with models that are not stick thin but represent women, average women. I was in there just before my wedding to help my husbands grandmother chose and outfit, she is very self conscious, however she was totally at ease within minutes of being in the shop. The staff members are so polite, and not judgemental like some shop staff can be. There was no pushy sales pitch, just brilliant knowledgable advice on what suits and what doesn't. I was surprised that there were garments for young ladies as well as the mature lady. It is most certainly a popular shop, with many customers browsing the gorgeous selection of garments. Fascinators are also available to finish of your outfit, as well as maybe a bit of sparkle with some beautiful jewellery. I was very impressed with the shop, the items, but above all the service which was provided. This shop is a must for any lady who is self conscious. You will never feel uncomfortable here, the staff make you feel great and really give you a boost.
