West Ardnamurchan Garden Community Shop

The garden began in 2010, part of a Scotland-wide move for communities to act on climate change. Growing food here, on a remote peninsula, cuts the miles it travels and the carbon it costs, and the garden encourages others to grow their own too. The fruit and vegetables are grown organically and sold fresh in season from the roadside shop, which is self-service: choose what you want and pay in the honesty box. There is often a chalkboard of what came out of the ground that day. The garden's produce also goes to the regular produce markets in Kilchoan. It makes a good stop on the way to or from the lighthouse.
