Black Isle Community Markets

The friendly atmosphere and top notch products available at the Black Isle Community Markets is bringing shoppers out in force.

From locally produced homemade Indian food and chutneys,pesto and cordials, fresh bread,cheese, vegetables, poultry, fish and fresh meat to a ’swap your stuff‘ section, crafts and soaps there’s something there to appeal to all tastes.

In contrast to rushing round the supermarket and braving checkout queues, community markets prove that shopping can be an altogether gentler and more sociable affair with the chance to talk to the producers direct and catch up with your friends and neighbours over tea and home baking.
