Aquila

Unlike most shops around the Royal Mile, this shop sources from local artists and carries unique pieces to bring back home. The owner was very friendly, let me try some Scottish shortbread, and gave a little history about the items I was looking at! Highly recommend.

Lovely shop and lovelier hospitality. The gentleman there was a generous local guide. So merciful on a first day here!

My friend and I were fortunate enough to visit the wonderful country of Scotland for three weeks. One of our main priorities was to find local and unique art and handmade items. When we got to Edinburgh, we stumbled upon the Aquila shop, and it was so cute! My friend even said, "this looks like your kind of shop." She was right! It was super cute, had great local unique items that you won't find just anywhere. We also had a wonderful conversation with the owner and really enjoyed our time in their shop! He also went above and beyond to ensure our breakable items would make it home safely and in one piece - very much appreciated! We will be back next time! :)
