The Owl at Number Two

An independent gift shop in a blue-fronted corner shop in Rosemount, Aberdeen, full of work by makers from the north-east and across Britain.

Welcome

On a street corner in Rosemount, a short walk from the centre of Aberdeen, a shop painted a deep blue carries its name in gold above the windows and a big number two over the door.

The Owl at Number Two is an independent gift shop, and a good one.

Its shelves are filled with things made by hand and chosen with care, much of it by makers in the north-east of Scotland and the rest by small makers from around Britain: prints and artwork, ceramics and candles, jewellery, books and cards, stationery, and toys and gifts for babies and children.

The shop opens Tuesday to Saturday.
