You'll find an interesting shopping experience awaiting you when you visit our stores. From fashion to homeware, there is a wide selection to suit every individual taste.
Our Buccleuch Street store has been home since 1899, joined by Barbours at Home across the road and our Stranraer store. The restaurant, open since 1974, is still worth the trip alone.
