"The Best Wee Shop In The Hebrides"
*Saturday late closing and Sunday opening at peak times only.
You're free to relax with our Cottage Delivery Service

The shop has found itself at various locations over the years, but has been serving the Isle of Colonsay from the current building since the 1960s. In that time it has seen 5 different owners, with current proprietors Keir and Grace taking the reigns in April 2012.
Since then we have brought about a number of changes, mainly aimed at increasing the range we carry and improving value for money. We are also slowly revamping the space to make it a more homely and inviting place in which to shop.
If you’d like to see the sort of produce we carry then check out the stock and wine lists on the Orders page. It’s not always possible to keep this up-to-date but it gives a good idea of the variety of stock we keep. Alternatively, see below for a flavour of some of the produce you can find in store:
