Supporting local isn’t just something we talk about… it’s something we do too 🤍

Over the last 7 days alone we’ve supported fellow local businesses by picking up coffees & cakes from 8 Doors Distillery, ice creams & juice from Flavours, a handheld Caithness flag from The First and Last Gift Shop, a takeaway dinner from Café Groats, a doorstop from dm__flooring, milk from the John O Groats Caravan and Camping Site and a card & stamp from the JOG Post Office

We’ve also shared and supported local services like Stromawildlifecruises and the new The Johnny Groat Shuttle service on our social media, and helped support a gentleman completing his incredible Land’s End to JOG walk 👏

Small communities work best when we all support each other — and we’re proud to play our part 🫶

Tales from Behind the Counter – Entry #5 (2026)
The Tourist Information Desk
“Where’s best to eat?”
“What’s good to visit?”
“Anything for the kids?”
“Best route to take from here?”

Before we know it, we’ve become a full-service tourist information centre.

Now don’t get us wrong — we love helping.
We’ve got plenty of recommendations and are always happy to point you in the right direction.

But just a gentle reminder…
We are actually a gift shop 😉

So by all means, ask away…
Just maybe have a wee wander round first — you might find something you love in here too.

These observations are lighthearted, based on a range of customers, and sometimes wildly exaggerated for comedy purposes — all in good fun!

Huge congratulations to Tim “Scottish Rogue” on completing his incredible Land’s End to John O’Groats journey 👏🏴

Walking the length of the UK to help raise awareness for Men’s Mental Health is an amazing achievement, and we were proud to be part of his finish here at John O’Groats.

Finlay had the honour of piping Tim over the line at the famous signpost 🎶 and Groats Gifts were delighted to present him with a Caithness flag to mark the occasion.

What a fantastic atmosphere and a finish to remember — well done Tim! 👏

One week ago today… and we still can’t quite believe it 🥹🏆

This was the moment we heard “Groats Gifts” announced as winners of Independent Gift Retailer of the Year – Scotland 2026 at the Greats Gift Retailer Awards in London.

Safe to say there was screaming… a little bit of shock… and possibly a few tears 😅

For our wee shop in John O’Groats to be recognised on a national stage honestly means the world to us. Thank you again to every single person who has supported us, shopped with us, laughed along with our videos and cheered us on over the years 💛

Still absolutely buzzing ✨
