This parcel has been with us for some time now and nobody has collected. Anyone know anything about it please dm us. Thanks

Now that it appears we have a reliable Thursday boat again we are now taking weekly orders for fresh fish. Please let us know by Wednesday what you need.

Fingers crossed 🤞 sounds like good news!

GOOD NEWS!! At long last we’ve just had formal confirmation from CalMac that the MV Hebrides has passed her sea trials and shall be routing back to ‘The Triangle’ this afternoon from Aberdeen and we can expect ‘the mighty’ MV Clansman back on our Oban/Coll/Tiree route I suspect (though yet to be confirmed) on Thursday. Some of you with be understandably thinking “You’ll believe it when you see it…” but there certainly appears to be ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ at long, long last…Keep the comments on transport issues coming on this FB Page which has proven to be very useful to Tiree CC, Transport Reps and I hope those with Tiree’s best interests at heart👍. Let’s hope for a brighter ferry transport future😅

Adverse weather? Really CalMac Ferries ? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Apologies - a bit of a change to our opening hours this week. The weather forecast for Wednesday - on the left - is apparently beyond the Calmac boat designated for Colonsay. Compare and contrast with the forecast on the right from the 19th December when the boat got in without any issues. The maritime equivalent of leaves on the line…….

As it’s ‘the weather’ of course, no compensation for any additional expenses incurred - how very convenient.

As a result:

Wednesday, Thursday & Friday we’ll be open 9am to 1pm and Saturday 9am to 3pm

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to our customers.
