The items are of good quality and there are some wooden pieces which are just beautiful!

Willow Glen is primarily a garden centre but also offers more than that! It is located on the edge…read moreof town, maybe a 10 or 15 minute walk from the centre. It is next to the big co-op. I really like this centre, they sell pretty much anything you will need for your garden! I've found their compost to be the best value and highest quality! They also sell a large range of food for all pets from dogs to birds! They are one of the few, if not the only place to sell foods for dogs who have allergies! The centre itself is fairly big with plenty parking outside. The staff are friendly and helpful and will take heavy bags to your car for you. This is the place I would recommend for anyone looking with a passion for gardening!

They also do flogas lpg and run mail order for the Highlands & Islands as well as the rest of Scotland. Lots more info on their website, but it's definately worth visiting the shop itself for top quality goods at a reasonable price with top notch service.

The colour centre is another great wee shop located up Church street. There are not many dedicated…read moreshops for paint on the island but this wee one is great! The shop is small but you are bound to find what you need here. They offer the usual kinds of paints gloss, matt, emulsion etc by different makers. The best thing about them is if you are after a particular colour you just need an example of what you want it to look like and they have a machine which matches the colour as closely as possible. This came in very hand when redecorating recently. The staff are very helpful in finding you the right paint and their prices are reasonable.
