Kintyre products available around the country....

Postby Tom B » Sun Sep 14, 2008 8:46 pm

As a follow on to the thread "Kintyre - the way forward" I'd be interested to see a list of the products/services that are "made in Kintyre" and that Kintyre 'expats' can buy all over the UK/world. I usually try and buy MOK cheese if it's available, but are there others.....?

A few off the top of my head

Products
Springbank - I guess available "at all good whisky shops and off sales"

Mull Of Kintyre Cheddar - Tesco's - UK wide?, other supermarkets?

Services
Professional services - web design etc?

Good post Tom

Here is a link to a site I received the other day. When I looked through this and thought there must be lots of ex-pats who will buy some Grant Logan jewellery and specific to Kintyre too! 8)

For info, Sainsbury's also stocks MoK cheese - different types and pack sizes. Which we always but, naturally ;-)

What a great site Grant Logan has - really lovely. Ta for that, SCD. I must take a good look - stored away for future reference.

"Kintyre Scampi" is produced by Dawnfresh Seafoods, late of Snipefield Industrial Estate, and based in Uddingston. this is one of the succession of companies that have forsaken Kintyre in the past. :(

Does anybody know if the raw materials for this product are actually sourced in Kintyre? It would be reasonable to assume that they would have to be in order to sell it as "Kintyre Scampi".

Inverloch Cheese Company produce a variety of cheeses that are available outside Kintyre.
There's also Phil Connor at Allt Mor Hatchery in Clachan who rears free-range chickens and guinea fowl. I think his stuff is only available in Argyll though - not nationwide.

Tried to get a bottle of Springbank at Glasgow Airport last week as a gift, but they don't stock it "not enough demand." It's whisky galore in there too, with a whole display just for Islay malts - shame there wasn't space for 'ours.'

there's a wee butcher/fish shop next to the Co Op on the Paisley Road West at Cessnock that sells vacuum packed fish from Campbeltown Smokehouse. yum!
