Award-winning Farm Shop and Coffee Bothy with a range of fruit and vegetables, eggs, meats and home baking. 5th generation and still going strong! Now also with meals-to-go range their latest addition.

This super place is nestled in the countryside very near the Wallace Monument – a handy location for the central belt. They have a wonderful range of Scottish suppliers represented on their larder shelves: preserves, coffee, shortbreads and pickles, teas and rapeseed oils…the list is endless. Wander through to their chillers and find regional cheeses, fresh and cured meats (Ramsays)  and onwards to a really creative range of gifts, tableware, throws and cards. New to Blairmains is an extensive furniture showroom with wonderful pieces in solid wood alongside beautiful wooden sculptures – real eye candy.

Last but not least there is not one but two places to eat here: The Express cafe for a nip-in and the Coffee Bothy for a more leisurely break with food served from breakfast right through the day – indeed it seemed a very popular breakfast haunt when we went!
