Quite the loveliest shop - not just outdoor gear so don?t be put off if you?re not in the market for fishing tackle or overalls. Splendid selection of whisky and gin and a small but beautifully curated gift and clothing range. Managed to buy a coat and some whisky - and went back for the gin! Excellent, friendly service. Tie a visit in with the brilliant cafe opposite, and you have two reasons to visit Helmsdale.

Great shop in Helmsdale. From fishing tackle to the boozy corner, something for virtually everyone. Always a warm welcome.

This is a wee gem of a shop and absolutely worth a visit. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming and we ended up bringing our black lab back in to see her after we left the shop the first time! The shop is largely for outdoor goods but has Gin, Rum, some fine photographic prints and a small selection of books. Fishing enthusiasts in particular are well catered for, with rods and flies aplenty. There is an impressive selection of outdoor clothing for all ages and I bought a lovely coat from Hoggs of Fife - from which there are lots of items to choose from. The lovely lady owner (apologies - I didn't get her name!) offered lots of advice on traveling locally and gave a very informative history of the town and it's surrounds. Great to see this wee independent retailer survive the Covid pandemic, when so many other small concerns haven't. You can find this shop just off the main street through the town and a stone throw from the harbour - also worth a visit. I enjoyed visiting here and love my new jacket! Do take the time to pop in and browse?

This place is the epitamy of Highland hospitality! I went in to ask about fishing permits for the river and the lady was so helpful. She advised me on all the local places to fish and provided me with contact details for the local landowners. She was so helpful, I was slightly embarrassed to leave without buying anything but she said 'don't be silly, that's what we're here for'! I was so impressed, I rushed back in the evening before closing so I could buy a new rod from her rather than get it anywhere else. Again, she was unbelievably helpful and friendly. She gave me great advice and was honest and Frank about what I needed. Not a whiff if up-selling. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I went into the shop to find out about fishing permits for the Helmsdale. The woman who owns the shop was also very helpful in providing information on line types, Iâ??m thinking of changing the type of salmon line I use. Nice selection of Hoggs of Fife clothes and gins to go along with the fishing tackle.
