The shop is an independent business & not connected or associated with the Royal British Legion. You can find their annual Poppy Appeal box in the shop though.

Quirky, unusual but awesome!
What an interesting find! This store sells some really interesting goodies, each of which has an uplifting backstory. Here's someone who is trying their best to help ex-service personnel develop their own wee businesses, with a range of crafts, memorabilia, books - you name it. Well worth a look if you are after an unusual gift and a very friendly welcome to boot. Definitely on my favourites list.
