[100% veg*n ] Kyle of Lochalsh (was Do you use supplied detergants?)

[Guest guest]

Michael,

 

We went to Kyle of Lochalsh a few years ago and I have a memory of it being

quite a vegan-friendly place. We were oinly topping off ont he way to Skye

but had a nice lunch in Seagreen which sells fish but also has a lot of

vegan friendly (and marked so on the menu!) dishes.

 

We were working form the extremely well researched " Scotland the Green " book

which might be a bit out of date by now. I have dug it out and there is one

veg B & B listed for Kyle of Lochalsh. If it is still in existence, even if

you don't stay there it might be worth you phoning them to see where they do

their shopping.

 

Contact Brian Neath 01599 555 341.

 

Also, I'm sure this information si available somewhere on this vast internet

of information!

 

Good luck,

 

Gillian

 

PS I'd decant a little bit of the various detergets I needed and take that

in jam jars or something.

I forgot I asked that question now, maybe I should have asked whether

people take their own children and fountains instead? 8-)

 

We've booked a cottage in Plockton (about 7 miles and two train stops

before Kyle) where the local shop seems to have an email address, so nearer

the time I'll ask what they sell and whether they can order. Contacting

Brian would also be a good idea though because I haven't seen anything

online about Kyle itself and it would probably be easier to get things

there. Thanks.

 

The Seagreen restaurant is in the Vegan travel Guide and has a website,

though I don't remember the address, so I'm hoping they'll be open over the

Christmas week (the VTG implies they will be).

 

I suppose if I'm taking my own toiletries a bag a couple of jars of washing

up liquid and clothes washing liquid or powder wouldn't be too much extra.

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

Highly recommend staying at the B & b at Kyle, it is a beautiful place, owners

were friendly and the food was yummy!

Forgot to say, I think I remember Brian Neath saying he gets things

delivered, cos there was only one wee shop when I was there and it didn't

have much in it. Nearest place for vegan friendly toiletries I guess would

be a bus run to Inverness.

That shouldn't be too much of a problem then as because of the distance

(it's amazing how long a train from Edingburgh to Inverness takes compared

to the journey time to London) we are planning to stop off in Inverness on

the Friday night and then go on to Plockton the Saturday morning. Partly

also because we want to travel during the daylight hours and take advantage

of the scenery but it would give us the chance to do some shopping for

essentials.
