I go away with work regularly to Darlington & Dunblane - I'm often on my own, at a loose end so was wondering if there are any tack shops worth a nosey at?
Stirlingshire saddlery is near dunblane. Never been there myself but if you google it you might get an idea if they are worth a visit. There is central saddlery as well but it is probably about a 20 -30 min drive.
