Isle of Rum Shop and Post Office

4.8(28 reviews)

About

Isle of Rum Shop and Post Office serves Isle of Skye from Village Hall, Isle Of Rum PH43 4RR, a setting on the Small Isles rather than the Skye mainland. Visitors give the shop a 4.8 out of 5 average across 28 reviews, a strong record for such a small community.

Portree, Broadford, Dunvegan and Kyleakin lie within reach on Skye, and British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights, so the crossing takes a little planning. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer.

Smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread are sold in island shops and harbourside cafés, so provisions for a crossing are easy to assemble. The website at rumstore.online carries the shop's details online.

British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several, which adds a layer of interest for anyone walking the shoreline.
