“Over that time we’ve had the incredible luck to have worked with many, many great people who have shaped the shop into many forms. I’ll look back on those more in the coming weeks, but for now I hope you are able to get down for a coffee.”

Cairngorm Coffee will continue serving from its branches at Melville Place and Bonnie & Wild's Scottish Marketplace, located inside St James Quarter.
