THORNHILL SHOPPING
From: Monday 01 January 2007 To: Friday 31 December 2010
If you prefer country markets to city malls, take a trip to Thornhill. This 18th century village is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon shopping. And it's not just the specialist shops that are impressive - the surrounding countryside is pretty special too.
Just 15 miles north of Dumfries, not far from the historic Drumlanrig Castle, Thornhill's quaint streets offer an appealing mix of friendly boutiques, coffee shops and art galleries. You might be surprised at what you'll come across in this tiny Scottish village. Take Zitan for example; an Aladdin's cave of gorgeous Chinese silks, antiques and paintings. While nearby Cample Mill stocks a fantastic collection of handmade furniture from all over Europe.
If you're looking for a new outfit, Voila, Tag and 101 Boutique are all worth a visit, with unique pieces and designer labels a-plenty. And make sure you take some time out to enjoy a delicious coffee at Angel's Portion, a quality craft shop with art gallery attached.
