Everyone who appreciates the intricate and beautiful designs of the Celtic tradition will find Celtic Crafts, located appropriately enough on the Holy Island, an absolute delight. Celtic Crafts and Sally's, owned by Karen and Neil Mundy, are two charming shops housed in one of the oldest buildings on Holy Island, dating back to 1666. Sally's, the original shop, is named after an Island woman who opened her shop at the turn of the last century with the help of donations from the Island women when her husband died working at Glasgow docks. A hundred years on it is an attractive outlet for Celtic craftwork, stocking designer knitwear and glassware sourced from small Celtic workshops throughout the British Isles.

There is also a good range of books, postcards, clothing and Celtic music. Next door, Celtic Crafts sells exquisite jewellery, with one of the best range of Celtic engagement and wedding rings in the country, available in gold, silver, platinum and precious stones. Many of the pieces in the shop take inspiration from the famous Lindisfarne Gospels, with some items exclusive to Celtic Crafts, such as the St Cuthbert Cross. For the `foodies' amongst customers Karen and Neil now make and sell their own fudge. Flavours change on a weekly basis and are available either direct from the shop or by mail-order. This marvellous place also offers a holiday apartment on the Island, with two spacious and attractive bedrooms - see website or email for details.
