Strathcarron Hospice

I’d forgotten all about Strathcarron’s arrival to Stirling since it’s so new to town and also because it’s on a hill; the last charity shop as you head out of the centre and up to the old town. I stopped by not long after opening and I was a little disappointed with the stock and the store lay out. It felt a little hectic, which is understandable since they had not long opened. I’m pleased to say that I visited today and there’s some really great quality second-​hand goodies to be found. I’m going to go and say something controversial but I think I actually prefer this shop to the established Strathcarron vintage shop in B of A; this one feels a lot more organised and the range of stock appeals more to me. — It’s more modern and the focus is on clothing as opposed to bric a brac.
I laid eyes on a gorgeous and brand new Harris Tweed bag. Darn it, if I wasn’t so skint I may have just indulged. — Just one example of the treats to be found here! Some really lovely evening dresses too, including some pretty little garments with their tags still on. I’m excited for what I might find next time!
I love heading back to somewhere I visited previously only to be pleasantly surprised the second time around. Strathcarron, you’ve made it on my ‘charity shop jaunt about town’ list, and I’ll be seeing you soon!
