[Information] Scotland Shop Listing

To those who own shops in Scotland (that are not in Hogsmeade), please post a description of your shop here.

Please include at least the following:

Shop Name: (this is the name of the shop itself)
Street Address: (the specific location)
Owner: (the shop owner's name)
Employees: (a list of employees, NPC's included)
Hours: (hours of operation, from open to close)
Merchandise: (what is sold in the shop?)
Description: (the look of the shop exterior and interior)

Shop Name: Eximius (meaning superb in Latin)

Street Address: Eximius is located on High Street in Old Aberdeen, Scotland. Its street number is 7 1/2 because of the chronological order and it not being visible to Muggles.

Owner: Callum Reilly

Employees: Emily Fleming (open for played or non played characters as well)

Hours: Monday-Friday: 8am - 7pm
Saturday - Sunday: 10am - 5pm

Merchandise: Obviously, being a bookseller, the main quantity of the merchandise sold in Eximius are books. Bookmarks, quills, parchment, journals, planners, ink, and other related items are also sold.

Description: Eximius is a narrow hole in the wall, though it is roomier than it looks. It contains thousands of books, all stacked to the top of the walls, the top shelves almost reaching the ceiling. There are ladders on each wall to allow easy employee or customer access. Things are organized, but not necessarily in a systematic manner. Often, customers have to ask for help because the employees are more familiar with the mechanics and semi-haphazard organization of the shelves. Hanging from the ceiling are signs pointing to the various sections to guide customers to the general area they're looking to go to.

New arrivals are kept in a back room until shelved but can also be looked at with employee permission. In a few of the aisles, there are small sitting areas with a chair or two to allow a quiet place or just someplace to sit and evaluate the literature. At the front of the bookshop, it is more open with a table and a set of chairs, and towards the middle is where the "front" desk is located, with the door a little ways in front of it. It's a large desk with plenty of room for employee usage, with drawers and compartments necessary for appropriate storage.

There is a cozy ambiance in the store and it's quite old fashioned, partially due to the owner's age and partially because of its location in Old Aberdeen. It's open to the public wizarding community, but anyone that causes disruption will not be granted service.

Description
Located just outside of Staffin, the Carroll's distillery is perceived as a small and old cabin on a field by muggles. Witches and wizards, however, see a large stone building.

Inside there's the bar at the right side of a large hall. There are sitting areas close to the walls and some over sized barrels as bar tables in the middle of the room. To the left side there's the entrance to the shop. While the bar area has this old fashioned chic with all the barrels and wooden floor and ceiling, the shop is rather more modern. There's also wooden floor and the colours resemble the bar, but the shelves and table are metal with glass surface.

The distillery itself, which can be visited on a guided tour, resembles traditional muggle distilleries such as the Talisker distillery which is also located on the Isle of Skye and was established seven years before the Carroll's distillery. Griorgair Carroll, the founder of the Carroll's distillery, took the Talisker distillery as an example and thought that it would be possible to create even better blends using magical means.

t h e   b a r

the archive boasts the most extensive range of whiskies – magical and mundane – in britain. it is situated in the old town of edinburgh, nestled away between bookshops, and (for those who can see it) it very much appears to be just another bookstore.

enter, and you will find a space much larger than the exterior suggests – though it is long and high, rather than spacious and wide. a narrow bar-height counter runs the length of the room to accommodate those standing, with tableless booths lining the opposing wall, and small tables with comfy chairs dotted between. the lighting is constantly dim, or as the proprietors would say “it’s mood lighting”.

the entire wall behind the bar is a series of shelves and nooks, each home to a whisky (organised by region, distillery, and age). food must be ordered at the bar, and the menu is limited (in fact, they only serve food because they are legally required to). however, the food is good, thanks to high quality, scottish ingredients prepared by passionate cooks.
