A great little find, we stopped by here on our way to Edinburgh and despite poor weather we saw many birds along with a red squirrel. Seeing them feeding at such close range in their natural habitat made for stunning viewing, great value for money.

First found this enchanting shop last year when I was up in Scotland from Wales Lisa the owner was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. She made the most beautiful lantern for my little granddaughters . Now it’s March 2020 and we have all been hit hard with this corona virus. ???? Unable to travel back up to this beautiful shop or more so unable to see my little granddaughters , I contacted Lisa to see if she could help me send some magic to cheer up both little ones Without hesitation Lisa was on the case along with her fairy ????????‍♀️ helpers . Two beautiful parcels where made up with a little message for each one . Parcels arrived today . They FaceTimed me as they opened them . The joy on their faces was magical . Even though the shop for now must stay closed. You can still order via website . Every one needs a little magic in their lives. More so at the moment . And Lisa has it in abundance ????????‍♀️????????‍♀️❤️ Grace Ps .. was only an option to award 5 stars but Lisa and Tinkerbell Emporium deserves much more x
