NEW IN!! We are so excited to now stock NAPIERS, Scotland’s Oldest Herbal Apothecary, crafted and sourced from the finest botanicals and extracts.
Founded in 1860 by Duncan Napier, an orphan who rose to become one of Scotland’s most respected herbalists opening his herbal dispensary at Bristo Place in Edinburgh. It was more than a shop; it became a destination for people from all walks of life who were looking for natural remedies and compassionate care. Long queues would often form outside, as word of Duncan’s effective treatments spread.
On weekends, Duncan would walk across the Scottish hills, collecting wild plants like meadowsweet, eyebright and yarrow. These were crafted into remedies that were not only sold in Edinburgh, but shipped to customers as far away as New York.
As the business grew, Duncan’s sons and grandsons joined him, and Napiers expanded to include locations in Glasgow and Bathgate. He became a respected voice in the herbal community, contributing to the Medical Reformers of England and the British Pharmaceutical Society. His approach was rooted in care, tradition, and scientific curiosity.
Come and try the testers of our various creams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
