Glenuig Shop, Scottish Highlands

About Glenuig and its Shop

Glenuig is a remote community on the beautiful shores of Loch Ailort, in Moidart, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. Our nearest shopping centre is Fort William, some 40 miles to the east.

There has been a shop and sub-post office at Glenuig for many years, and this has long provided a service to the community, not only as a place to buy essential goods, but as a social hub for folk from miles around.

Currently open seven days a week and staffed by a dedicated group of volunteers, the shop serves not only the local population but an increasing number of tourists with day-to-day essentials, and a Post Office on Mondays and Fridays, as well as light refreshments in a small café area.

Despite the impression given by state-of-the-art Post Office satellite communications system standing outside it, the existing shop building is old and needs replacing.

The Glenuig Community Shop Steering Group has been set up, with the help of various agencies, to produce the plans and raise the funds for a modern replacement for the shop, which will be run as a community venture.

On this website you can find details of our plans for the shop, as well as the latest newsletter and contact details.
