This fine shop features everything Scottish - from food (yes, even haggis) to books and gift items, Heathergems,
quaichs, brooches, and even will help you order a full kilted outfit. The Hendersons have it all and for Northeast
Ohioans, it couldn't be handier. If you aren't from Northeast Ohio, they are happy to arrange mail order delivery, though
you can often find them at fairs, games, and Scottish functions around the area.
