@LuingStores You're very welcome! The ice tea I bought was just the ticket on such a hot day 🌡️

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

A pleasure to welcome you to #Luing, Graham! Many thanks for your kind words about our shop - praise indeed from "the NE's best-known retail expert" says the BBC!

[Graham Soult FIPM @soult]

Caught the ferry from Seil to #Luing today, and enjoyed a nine-mile hike around the island - with a delicious alfresco lunch at @AtlantICLuing, and, inevitably, a visit to @LuingStores, Luing's only (but very well-stocked) grocery shop.

Hey there, @nbissell! This was meant to be our tweet and you got there first!

[Norman Bissell @nbissell]

Welcome back, @AtlantICLuing! Especially with such great news! We're looking forward to working with you again to welcome visitors back to the island and offer them great food, crafts and heritage within Covid regs. @VisitScotland @Argyll_IslesApp @ArgyllandIsles @ArgyllMTourism

Merry Christmas to all our customers and friends! And many thanks for all your support this year. It really does make a difference. We're open today & Mon to Thurs from 11 am to 2 pm. https://t.co/CG0113slmz

@GAMcCutcheon Many thanks, Gavin. We're very grateful to you and all our other customers for their support, to our many local suppliers and to the volunteers who helped take deliveries to those who were self-isolating.

#SmallBusinesses are the heart and soul of the islands, more power to their elbow. @LuingStores have been indispensible during the pandemic and have bent over backwards to support the community. One example amongst many.

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

Couldn't agree more, Gavin! We're not biased are we?

[Gavin McCutcheon now on mastodon.scot @GAMcCutcheon]

@HI_Voices Luing! Has to be. Especially if you're a fan of baked products, crazy-good views, fancy coos, amiable folk and slate.

[Leela Soma @Glasgowlee]

Brilliant video of poems, music and Highland scenery! Super idea @nbissell for @BookWeekScotland

@ButhBharraigh @BarraIsland @FSB_Scotland @OuterHebChamber Congratulations on your award from one island shop to another!

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

A shout out for us on #SmallBusinessSaturday! The only shop and Post Office on the wonderful slate Isle of #Luing. Lots of gifts as well as groceries, wool for knitters & even copies of #Barnhill a novel about George Orwell on Jura, signed & dedicated by the author @nbissell!

[H&I Voices @HI_Voices]

Who's still got their Christmas shopping to finish?

It's #SmallBusinessSaturday today, so if you're up for it, why not reply and tag your favourite small business from anywhere at all - let's get them some traffic!

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

We enjoyed it too, Gavin! Especially when Coll laughed at the idea that the birds 'worship at his door' when he was standing at it.

[Gavin McCutcheon now on mastodon.scot @GAMcCutcheon]

Even the rain let up long enough to enjoy it!

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

Our pleasure, Anja! Come to #Luing for a wonderfully fresh #seafood culinary experience!

[anja baak @greatglencharcu]

Wonderful start of our little break on the Isle of Luing. Delicious bread, salad and langoustines from @luingstores and the best oysters from @Oyster_Lady complemented with @WoodWintersINV wine #isleofluing

Is it psychedelic soul? Is it trance? Is it punk? Is it poetry? Hold the genres, baby, it's MY WANDERINGS IN THE WEARY LAND and it's #THEWATERBOYS https://t.co/drqXK3g7AR

Neil is a great guy and it's his birthday today! Wish him Happy Birthday as we do!

[Norman Bissell @nbissell]

Don't forget the #Luing Bakery also supplies award winning fresh sourdough bread, rolls & pizza dough each week to @LuingStores! More people on Luing are getting their weekly messages here & saving on ferry & petrol costs + CO2 emissions. #Buylocal makes sense. @ButhBharraigh

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

The prawns, crab and lobsters we sell are landed 1/4 mile away, our eggs & baking are from #Luing, our lamb from Seil a mile away, our fish from Kilmore 12 miles away & our beef from Oban 18 miles away. Luing folk are buying it. #Lessfoodmiles #Supportyourlocalshop & suppliers!

[Angus MacKinnon @AngusM1966]

Just saw this ... the #covid crisis was a perfect opportunity for a huge shift in favour of eating locally ... instead we Scots are hoovering up subsidized, imported beef because that suits subsidized supermarkets. Depressing but avoidable if everyone shamed them into change

[Buth Bharraigh @ButhBharraigh]

@FSB_DRichardson Support them by shopping with them rather than amazon and the supermarkets. Think local. https://t.co/d8l0qSF0wu

[Luing Stores @LuingStores]

Just spotted this recommendation from @thenaturelib and would like to add that copies signed by the author are available from @LuingStores! Send us a DM to order one - great #reading when you #stayathomesavelives!

[The Nature Library @thenaturelib]

Slate, Sea and Sky (@luathpress) is @nbissell's first book of poems, written between Glasgow and the Isle of Luing among Scotland��s slate islands. The poems journey from city streets to the ocean’s edge, telling stories from two very different worlds.
