Rum Shop & Post Office in Highland

great shop reliably open and well stocked. good seating area outside to meet travellers. also the couple that run it are really friendly and helpful

Very impressed. Jenny and partner who run it are very sociable. Both very knowledgeable about everything on the island and were keen to talk me through what there was to see and do on Rum and all aspects of living there. The shop also operates as a community hub and is a great place to meet and hang out with whichever islanders happen to be there. Everyone without exception was very friendly and welcoming. You can get a tea or coffee there. Jenny didn't have any soup on but kindly said I could buy a tin and she'd heat it in the microwave. The shop itself is really well stocked. Wish I'd known just how well stocked and I would have saved myself the weight and capacity of bringing things from the mainland. Things I bought included a box of grapes, crisps, a tin of sweetcorn, soup and roll, a coffee, a laminated OS map of Rum, a pie, ground coffee, an Our Wullie gift box and tablet. Things that were available included eggs, cheese, milk, fresh fruit and veg, bread, all manner of tinned goodies, pasta, rice, soft drinks, alcohol. The shop also operates as a post office some of the time. Perhaps best to get in touch if you're not sure whether they will stock something. Definitely the place to head to when you land and to meet some really kind and interesting people as well as stock up.

Great little shop and the coffee is top notch too! This shop has you covered with all your essentials and more. Even a few lux items like almonds croissants) (and some great burgers are available. Definitely no need to bring food along with you. Also a great chat to have a wee chat with the locals or bask in the sun #scotlandisatropicalparadise 😉

Great wee place Stocked with everything u might need Also serves soup coffee and fries

Excellent local shop serving the people of Rùm and vistors. Has nearly everything a camper could want in terms of food and basic supplies (midge nets, basic pharmacy supplies, tinned food, dried pasta packets). The shop is only open at specific times each day and these are usually on display on a chalk board outside the shop. The shop will be open once a day from 4-6 or 5-7 every day, with an extra 2-hour window around noon on days the CalMac ferry service arrives.

I was so impressed by the services on Rùm. Definitely no need to do groceries in Mallaig, this little shop has every you need. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we loved it!

Everything on Rum is perfect. Community is strong and people help each other. I feel good there.

Great food, Beautiful Scenery, Friendly Staff, Charasmatic Atmosphere, what more do you want? Definitely worth grabbing a bite when visiting the Isle of Rùm

Great well stocked shop with friendly staff, what more do you need.

Excellent little shop. Well stocked with a wide range of foods, drinks and lots of other bits and pieces you might need on an island get away. Certainly plenty to buy!

Well stocked local shop. Everything from camping and fishing supplies to general food and drink. Owner is full usefull sightseeing information. Save carrying stuff and buy it while your on the island . Plus only way find secret fishing spots and camping places is to ask the locals
