Default Favour please: Scottish shops

I know there is a general thread for shops but its a huge thing to rake through and make of them are too far away for us Scottish people. I was wondering if we could make a thread for shops in Scotland only ?

So...everyone, list Scottish shops you know of .

I'll start by listing the only two I've actually seen:

Aberdeen:

Reptiles in the Green
64 The Green
Aberdeen
AB11 6PE

Small shop with ok selection of the more common species (corns, a few boas and beardies) but animals are well looked after and staff are friendly.

Edinburgh:


The Aquatic Centre (also known as Aquakadabra 2)
15-17 Comely Green Place
Edinburgh
EH7 5SY

Medium selection of snakes, lizards, creepy crawlies as well as a selection of live and frozen foods. Staff are helpful and polite.

Smile scottish shops

RD Rintoul in bathgate is a large general pet shop but also sells parrots and dereks home bred reptiles. Derek very knowledgable on certain species. staff are polite too but a very very busy shop.
If you can squeeze past all the old women buying treats for their dogs its worth a look if you're passing that way.
