Wonderful place to go would be lost without it so many great little finds to be had

Wonderful place to find all sorts of things you did not know you wanted. I always buy lots of fabrics and zips for my bags!

What an amazing place! I bought lots of goodies at very very reasonable prices. The staff/volunteers I spoke to were all extremely helpful and friendly. I will def be back. Such a good idea - I wish there were more places like your store

The perfect pick up point for anyone feeling creative! Bundles of stock that is constantly updated with new goods. A real gem, and worth supporting this local charity.�

Only went in for a wee look and left with a basket full of goodies but wish I had a trolley :) so many bargains and nick nacks and bits and bobs that sparks the creative imagination. Great staff and volunteers there too who are so helpful and try to find you what you are looking for.

Like an Aladdin's Cave of Crafting! wonderful place. reuse, reduce & recycle!

I've been to the scrap store several times now and I don't think I've ever walked out empty handed! Great quality items at a great price, from meters of fabric, paint, paper, stamps, ink, buttons, zips, thread, clay... you name it, its more than likely there! The staff are extremely knowledgable and helpful and if you aren't sure or can't find something its no problem to ask - in fact I think they see it as a welcome challenge to find things! Thanks.

Have visited Musselburgh mostly. Great shop, staffed by lovely women who are happy to let me wander about and have a seat when I need to. Brilliant!

Great stock of crafting materials and bargain prices! If you love a good rummage then this is the place for you.

Found this amazing shop by accident today whilst asking directions for something else. Brilliant service, fantastic selection of all sorts ! I'll be back :D

Brilliant place for anyone who likes to do art (s) crafts, sewing, knitting, tapestry etc etc ...... Most of the stuff is recycled and in good order AND so affordable. Cannot believe the stuff they have down there and have NEVER ever seen so many buttons and assorted zips in my life. And the fabrics ..... and the wool ....there's felt and paper & card ......Magic ....the Borders Scrapstore Rocks !!
