Welcome

Homer is the kind of shop you pop into for a card and leave with a cushion, a lamp and new plans for the sitting room.

It's on Bank Street in Aberfeldy, and it works hand in hand with the Watermill bookshop across the high street, with staff flitting between the two. The stock changes with the seasons and comes from makers in Scotland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland and around Britain, from furniture and sheepskin rugs to leather bags and lovely things for the home. The real treat is Homer's own tweed. It's designed with the weavers at their local Perthshire mill and made in soft Cheviot wool from the Scottish Borders, and you'll see it on their Scot-Scandi chairs, sofas and stools, on classic armchairs and on cushions. You can buy the cloth by the metre too, for curtains or tailoring. The shop is open every day from 10am to 5pm, and it's an easy one to pair with a coffee at the Watermill.
