Further references
One of the shops in Falkland was an Italian ice cream shop called Valentes, where Fayre Earth Craft Shop is today. (A shop of the same name is still going today in Kirkcaldy).[2]
The shop that became Fayre Earth was once a village stores, where, as well as general goods and papers, villagers could have teas or coffees or the delicious ice-cream made by the Italian proprietors (the Lannis) while listening to the songs of the moment played on the shop’s juke box.[3]
Fayre Earth featured in the Outlander television series as "Farrell’s Hardware and Furniture Store", Inverness.[4]
