About

In its lifetime, the 19th Century building was used as a print works and stationery storage, but in recent years it lay in a state of neglect until Judith Glue and David Spence bought it in 2011.

A few years later it was identified as a priority building by KTHI (Kirkwall Townscape Heritage Initiative). Grant funding was then allocated by KTHI towards the cost of Restoration to bring this B Listed building back into use, giving them a chance to develop this building into what is now The Storehouse Restaurant with Rooms.

Judith is a knitwear designer and manufactures her own collection of Orkney knitwear, which is sold throughout the world. She also designs a unique collection of Orkney gift products exclusively for “Judith Glue”.

A wealth of experience spans over 37 years in business, particularly in the tourism and service trade, having previously run two retail shops in the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Along with her husband and business partner David, Judith runs the long established business of Judith Glue and The Real Food Cafe and also a second retail outlet in Inverness.
