Why Chaplin’s?
Charlie Chaplin (yes, the global superstar of the silent movies) used to bring his wife Oona and their children to the shop for ice creams and coffee during their holidays to Nairn and Grantown in the early 70s.
Stephen Queen, the current owner has been told that Charlie Chaplin and his family stayed at the Grant Arms Hotel in the town and that he apparently loved the area, visiting regularly from his home in Switzerland during his later years.
When Stephen took over the shop, it already contained a lot of Chaplin memorabilia and he decided that he should give the place some sort of identify - hence Chaplins.
