Goose splits his time between the Online office and behind the Books till (while his owner Marcus works in the café). He enjoys a snooze and you would often not even know he was on the shop floor. However, he is a friendly soul so if you see his little head popping around the corner at the till, do come and say hello.

Named after Dickens’ Pickwick Papers, this giant teddy bear sometimes joins his owner (Vicky) behind the books till. Pickwick is an enthusiastic fellow who adores attention. Sometimes he gets too excited and forgets other people’s personal space but he simply wants to give as much love to humans as possible.

Little Raven has recently joined the team, becoming a Mainstreet shop dog. Daughter of Luna, she follows in her mother’s footsteps in adoring attention and sitting beautifully to distract staff & customers alike.

Meet Luna! Luna’s humans are Roz & Bill and she loves to join them when they come into the shop. She is incredibly cute and is absolutely shameless in using this to her advantage when seeking attention.

Maya knows her way around the kitchen like the back of her hand and is often the grounded and calming source for other staff members during rushes. She likes to practise her cooking at home and to practise her art, as this is what she truly loves to do.

Niamh is our kitchen superstar. Not only does she keep the kitchen sparkling, she can also be found up on the café floor practising her coffee skills. When she is not at Mainstreet, she is studying hard for school, with the hope of one day going into the medical profession, and playing hockey.

Helen, who is always smiling, has been with us since September 2022 and has been a key member of our Sunday team ever since. In her down time she enjoys spending time with her cat and her granddaughters.

Brooke has returned to Mainstreet for the summer after surviving her first year at university studying business. In her spare time she enjoys playing netball and, given the opportunity, she loves to chat to everyone.

Lucy joined our team in January 2024 and is great fun to have around. She came to us after studying textiles at Heriot Watt University and divides her time between working in our café and running the social media and marketing for a garden centre. In her spare time she likes to travel and escape the rain in Scotland.

Korrine joined us from Fort William and has slotted into the Mainstreet team nicely. She loves Taylor Swift and in her spare time goes to lots of different concerts. Having recently moved to the Borders, she is enjoying being able to explore all of the hidden gems that our gorgeous area has to offer.
