Dervaig Stores and PO.

Dugie is a fantastic shopkeeper and stocks all kinds of things including lots of local produce and a good selection of whole foods in addition to everything else a local shop would stock! Open 7 days a week – limited hours on a Sunday.

The Boathouse on Ulva

The Boathouse is a great place to go for lunch, crossing in the private ferry and sitting outside looking at the view whilst enjoying the freshest shellfish and wonderful soups and home baking. Walking here is lovely too.

Calgary Arts and Robin’s Boat

Calgary Tearoom does teas, home baking and light lunches – and lots of local art. There is a lovely walk through the woods to the beach, look for sculptures along the different paths. At the beach, on sunny days, Robin’s Boat sells Isle of Mull Ice Cream.
