About The Square Peg
THE BRICKS BEHIND THE CLICKS!
The Square Peg is our group of shops in Argyll, on the West Coast of Scotland.
We have lots of thoughtful and original gift ideas from small companies that you would not easily find elsewhere!
From small beginnings as one wee shop over 30 years ago, we have grown to occupy one side of Colchester Square in Lochgilphead with 5 different departments.

We thought of 'The Square Peg Online' As we are often asked for gift inspiration and wanted to provide the same service online!
Everything you see on the site is available in our shops and all have been carefully chosen to provide such a range of gifts that we are certain you will find something you like! And browsing couldn't be easier...
If you are looking for something from a particular range or company, you can browse the site by BRAND by choosing from our comprehensive drop-down menu, and you will be taken straight to that brand page.
We have also divided all our lovely gifts into DEPARTMENTS to make it easier for you to find the type of gift you are seeking. With so much under one heading, you can further refine your options by clicking on the department heading and choosing a CATEGORY that interests you.
And, of course, whether you know exactly what you want or you just want to find things to do with e.g. travel, our search facility should do the trick!
