These special vinegars aren’t for cooking with or even dipping bread in to. They’re for drinking! The health benefits of apple cider vinegar are well known and Sour Power pack theirs with extra nutritious and delicious goodness. They recommend one tablespoon of vinegar per day, diluted with warm or sparkling water. The result is a truly delicious ‘grown up soft drink’, good for body and soul. They have lots of flavours to choose from – check them out.
If you’ve ever visited our café/gift shop in Glenshiel, then you’ll know we’re huge fans of these wee bothies.
Real bothies encapsulate Scottish warmth and hospitality – a wee, old, usually stone hut in the middle of nowhere, left unlocked for any passing hiker to take refuge and make a cuppa in. Glenshee Pottery recreate these in miniature form and in many different styles and colours to bring some Scottish warmth to any whisky cabinet, bookshelf or kitchen counter.
Ah, chocolate. The king of stocking fillers.
We have 13 kinds of chocolate bars to choose from for only £6 each. We have plain dark, milk, white and gold (caramelised white chocolate) and 9 flavoured bars. If you were to ask for our recommendation, we’d say they’re all 10/10 – we wouldn’t make them otherwise! If you were to really push us, our favourites (and the ones we’re finding customers are really loving) at the moment are:
Dark Chocolate & Scottish Honeyberry – Tart and zingy Scottish grown berries on our smooth and fruity dark chocolate. A real perfect match.
White Chocolate and Highland Chai – We can’t not mention this wee beauty during the colder months. Ujamma Spice’s chai blend offers cosy, aromatic flavours and really mellows out the sweetness of the white chocolate. It’s just the ultimate comfort food.
Milk Chocolate, Salted Caramel and Hazelnut – A classic – and one of the first bars Finlay created – this one’s always a winner. We toast chopped hazelnuts and coat them in our Isle of Skye sea salted caramel, resulting in the most satisfying sweet and salty crunch. These are then scattered over milk chocolate, resulting in one of the tastiest chocolate bars – dare we say – ever.
