Pen Shops In Scotland?

[TheDutchGuy]

Will be visiting Scotland in a few weeks time, based in Inverness but will be branching out a bit. Any decent pen shops in Scotland...? Did a quick search on Google and another one on FPN but can't find much.

There's quite a good one in Princes Square in Glasgow, towards the back of the centre up the first set of stairs.

A 1 hour drive along the coast on the A96 will take you to Elgin, where Yeadons and Pencil Me In might be worth a browse. Failing that, Gordon and McPhail certainly will be worthwhile - it is possibly the world's best whisky shop (with a delicatessen on the side). On the way back, make a detour to Findhorn and find a bench to watch the sunset over the harbour, even better with a pint and a meal from the pub on the other side of the road.

Thanx!

Im headed to Edinburgh in a couple weeks and will be sure to visit the pen shop. Hard to tell from online pictures but the selection seems much better than the two Pen Shop locations in london.

So far the best pen store I found while traveling was in Houston (Dromgooles). Im headed to Paris later this year, hopefully Ill eventually find a shop in Europe comparable to Dromgooles.

I have mixed feelings about the Edinburgh store. It is more like a gift shop.

I visited the store and completely agree. Its catering towards corporate gifts and not pen lovers. They didnt even carry basic paper products (eg Rhodia).

The staff were also not pen people and werent interested in me at all.
