Restoring RETAIL THERAPY
From embellished skirts to hand-painted ceramics and luxury face creams to artisanal food, it’s time to discover the exquisite shopping experience that is Restoration Yard
S
pringtime has arrived at long last and, if you’re anything like us, you’ll be looking to update your wardrobe, your home, and your beauty bag to ensure they’re in-line with the new season. That said, traipsing around the shops is hard work, and almost enough to put us off our endeavour. But what if we were to tell you that there’s a place you can find everything you need to see you through spring in style? It might sound too good to be true, but such a place does exist, and it’s called Restoration Yard. Idyllically situated in Dalkeith Country Park, a mere stone’s throw from Edinburgh, Restoration Yard takes the shopping
experience to an entirely new level. Housed in sprawling, beautifully-renovated stables within the historic park, Restoration Yard boasts a restaurant, a coffee bar, and even a breathtaking wellness space where you can indulge in a spot of yoga or strengthen your core by way of a Pilates class. The jewel in its crown, however, has to be its beautiful store, where you can find everything, from gorgeous dresses and covetable jewellery to artisan soaps and sumptuous bath soaks. With extensive collections across fashion and beauty, you’re guaranteed to find something to treat yourself to amongst its Instagram-worthy displays and expertly-curated rails.
