Fàilte! Welcome!

Fàilte! Welcome to a new blog space reporting from Achiltibuie about news from the area, the Highlands and,of course, keeping you updated on the delicious products from Summer Isles Foods

We have had an amazing summer of weather up here. The only day it didn't seem so great was the annual Coigeach Gathering, our version of the Highland games. It was a blustery day on Badentarbet beach as everyone huddled around the plant stall and drooled as the wonderful smells of a roast venison haunch drifted around us all...actually, I was too busy on the case of the raffle tickets. Raffles in Achiltibuie usually consist of the donator of a prize winning it back and this year was no different. The lucky winner of a side of Summer Isles Foods smoked salmon was none other than our very own Iona who works in the office!
