The Green Welly Stop

After our monumental move last year, we have been developing the Outdoor Store further! The old shelving around the outside wall has been stripped out this winter and replaced with lovely and much needed slat walling. The big bonus, which none of us had anticipated, was the extra floor space that was created removing the old units! It has given us the space to display all our jackets and other clothes much more effectively! After a couple of weeks of stress for the staff whilst the work was being done, (including new lighting) we have now a much improved shop. It's stuffed to the ceiling with new stock. We look forward to you coming and having a browse and maybe even buying one or two things!

We also have some of our items available on line visit [ The Outdoor Store Online ]

This is an exciting time for The Outdoor Store, which has been described as 'An Aladdin's Cave' in the past. We hope that you will enjoy all the changes taking place in The Green Welly Stop. For more information see [ 'About Us' ].

The Outdoor Store was established in the late 1980's by the family, spurred on by the late Derek Wilkie, who realised that there was a corner of the market that we had not targeted yet! Over a glass/bottle of wine or two, Derek and his best buddy, Trevor, came up with the name The Green Welly Shop. That is how it all started….. Green wellies (Hunter, Aigle, Le Chameau, Joules and Hogg's) Barbour jackets, socks and hats….The rest is, as they say, History.

The name caught on, and over the years, we have expanded as much as we possibly could. The name did, however cause us difficulties. The catchy name caught on, and our customers called us 'The Green Welly' - we gave up fighting it, and rebranded the whole business 'The Green Welly Stop' as it is known today. At this point we named this shop The Outdoor Store.

What started off as Barbour Jackets and Wellies, expanded to blister kits, waterproof socks (yes, really, waterproof socks!) Gore-Tex ©, hats, gloves, socks, Swiss army knives, sleeping bags - to mention just a few of our lines!

Outdoor footwear for the keen rambler to the professional stalker is provided, with brand names such as: Meindl, Brasher, Scarpa, Timberland, Le Chameau and Merrell. Green wellies too!

As well as everything for the outdoors we also sell 'Life Style' brands: - Weird Fish, Animal and Joules which are very popular brands with our customers. We also stock a large range of 'country wear' clothing, brands from Aigle and Seeland.

New for 2008, was a range of 'Fitflops' - which were sold out very quickly, however, for the 2009 season, we will be selling a large selection of their latest range.

The West Highland Way is notorious for blisters and sore feet, and we came across this quote from a group of walkers

Fancy a pair of boots?

For the worst of Scottish weather you will find something to suit everyone from the weekend walker to those who work in all conditions. We stock everything from budget waterproofs to top of the range Goretex from the likes of Paramo and Berghaus. With accessories including sleeping bags, torches, swiss army knives, gloves, hats and maps, we have everything for all your outdoor needs. If you are interested in country pursuits, we have a range of protective clothing in tweed, wax cotton and moleskin.
