Taste John O'Groats

WE WON!!! 🏆✨

Groats Gifts has officially been named Independent Gift Retailer of the Year – Scotland at the Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2026 in London tonight 😭💛

Honestly… we are completely overwhelmed.

From opening our doors in 2021 during Covid, to standing here tonight representing our wee shop in John O’Groats on a national stage — it’s hard to put into words what this means to us.

Thank you to our incredible team, our loyal customers, our suppliers, our local community and everyone who has supported us along the way. This award belongs to all of you too.

We are SO proud of our little corner at the very top of Scotland tonight 🥂✨
