Welcome

The Scottish Antique & Arts Centre is a wonderful place for a long, slow browse, out in the Perthshire countryside at Abernyte, between Perth and Dundee.

It opened in 1997 and has grown to more than 30,000 square feet, with dealers selling everything from antique and vintage furniture and pottery to sparkling jewellery, quirky collectables and vintage clothing. Beside the antiques there's a showroom of contemporary furniture and homeware, a department of ladies' fashion, and a food hall stocked with Scottish whiskies, artisan gins, local craft beers, shortbread and sweets. Give yourself a couple of hours to wander every aisle. Café Circa, the centre's restaurant, serves breakfast from 10am, then lunch, soup and sandwiches, traybakes and good coffee through the afternoon, and you can book a table online. The centre is open every day from 10am to 5pm, with free parking and wheelchair access throughout, and only assistance dogs are allowed inside.
