For a gift with a difference pay a visit to Stonehaven's Shell Hoosie.
Situated at the picturesque harbour, this trove of indulgence is guaranteed to delight young and old.

Nautical but nice is the theme of the shop and once inside all those childhood memories will come flooding back.

The bleached wood shelves are full to the brim with nautical gifts from greeting cards, mugs and photo frames to exquisite hand-made ornamental boats and figurines, as well as a wide section of childrens's nautical games and puzzles.

The shop also stocks a range of beautiful handcrafted jewellery, including earrings made from real shells coated with a layer of pure silver.

The nautical enthusuast can check out the range of authentic recreated items from sundials to ship lanterns.

The Shell Hoosie also stocks an assortment of confectionery items and ice creams as well as freshly made coffee, hot chocolate and tea -just the thing to keep you warm as you stroll along the harbour.

And those who fancy a change from the traditional pudding can choose from the selection of hand-made ice cream cakes.

Come along and have a browse. You will be made welcome by owner Raymond Milne.

Open every day 10am - 5pm.
