I looked everywhere today but couldn't find a fish shop near me.

I looked everywhere today but couldn't find a fish shop near me.

As I have stated elsewhere on this forum, this is the result of the rise of the supermarket.

You can get the cheese in Makro.

Kintyre Products make great Christmas presents!

And if you buy them from their Kintyre producers the money 'stays local'.

A non-food item that I would like to recommend is Campbeltown Pottery. We have loads of it - use it every day, and it withstands microwave, dishwasher, and always gets compliments from visitors! Obviously available in the shop, beside Eaglesome's, and in the Tree Shop at Cairndow (beside the Oyster Bar) too, I think.

That said, Simon is alway very helpful at sending items mail order too - anything we have recieved has been so well packaged - no breakages at all - which is great. So all you footstompers who live afar, you can get a wee bit of the place by post!

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.'

Who-ever you spoke to is talking rubbish. Duty Free would love to stock Springbank, however they only stock whisky if they make a huge margin on it, i.e. the distillers sell it at a ridiculous price. We don't sell our whisky at discounted prices, therefore we don't sell to duty free, this is also why we don't supply the majority of supermarkets. There are exceptions and we do supply Waitrose/Oddbins, both of who have a policy of supporting small, craft producers, not trying to screw them
Springbank tastes best when bought in Campbeltown anyway!
