I wanted to get a self-inking stamp made up in the shape of the Yelp logo to use to stamp Yelper's passports. I emailed these folk, they quotes £35(ish) and next day service so I was happy to use them. The fact they were local to me and that I could pop in to pick it up was an added bonus. They were super easy to deal with (just 3 emails back and forth), I paid by paypal and was super happy with the stamp. Simple, efficient and I would definitely use them again if I ever need another stamp - although, the first one is still going strong so not sure if I will!

Have you ever had a friend that screwed up?…read more I mean really screwed up? Not only did they crash your car but your dog was in the car at the time, and since your friend was drunk they had the dog driving. Car gone, dog dead and your pal asking for a beer next to the flaming wreckage complaining about your dog's inability to successfully negotiate reverse camber corners. In a similar scale - Framing Workshop really screwed up They were asked to frame a antique shawl by the wife. An antique Whitby Jet shawl that she has taken care of for over 35 years. We have carried it with us over oceans and kept it in pride of place, in every location we have inhabited. We decided to get the item framed to protect it and specifically asked for it to be pinned in the framed and hung over the backing. The colour of the backing board that they decided to use was grey and when we got it home, it sucked the colour out of the shawl and out of the room. So, I thought why not get the backing board changed out to a nice cream and present it to the wife. The local framer took it in and phoned me the next day. "They glued it". Sorry "They glued the whole thing". The front matt board was glued to the shawl. The antique shawl was completely glued to the backing board. It was not going to shift. Destroyed. Thank you very much. And we are never going near Framing Workshop ever again.

If you need something framed I would highly recommend going to The Framing Workshop near St…read moreGeorge's cross.. Staff are lovely and very helpful.. I have many things framed there at a very reasonable price.. For example me and my friend had the same picture to get framed, she went else where and payed £65 and I only payed £32.. Bargain.. I also saw a picture on pinterest of a box frame with an opening in the top so that you can post your old concert tickets in to display them.. They took on the challenge and made me one which I love, I still need to sort all my tickets out but when I have I will add a picture.. Oh also if you if you are in don't forget to look up, when I was collecting my frame I was chatting to the owner, I asked her what the weirdest thing she had framed was and she told me to look up.. Framed on the roof was a giant tunnocks tea cake from the opening ceremony of the commonwealth games.. Love it..

I want in to buy myself a replacement bday present (yes, that's a thing). Sharon M had gotten me a lovely brooch here but it got snagged on my coat and fell off somewhere, so I needed another. While they didn't have the exact match, the man in the shop went to check for me and see what other colours they had which was nice. The items stocked in this shop are very Scottish focussed and it's great to see local artists featured. It has a lovely mix of stuff - cards, jewellery, accessories, ceramics, candles, prints. Prices are reasonable, staff are helpful and there's lots to admire. Well worth a visit!

The shops downstairs didn't have anything I liked so I headed upstairs to see what was available and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in Janet and John. Just to the left as you head onto the first floor, the shop offers a great mix of local Scottish crafts, handmade toiletries, stationery and jewellery. Within 2 minutes I'd found about 5 things I wanted to buy for myself! The prints on offer were particularly great with my favourites by 'BatBoy', combining some of my favourite geeky things (Batman and Star Wars) with some Scottish flavour. I'm definitely going back for the R2-D2 'wee man' and AT-AT 'nice pins' prints when I move house later this year. I hadn't planned on picking up something for my brother's birthday but when I saw the perfect print for him I had to get it. I really like the jewellery too, with an interesting mix between wooden, acrylic and bead pieces. I ended up opting for a wooden broach for the other present I was looking for. As well as having great choice the prices were also really reasonable and the staff super friendly. I'll definitely be heading back soon!
