🌟 Kev's Top Tip: The Honesty Box at Kilmory
A 15-minute drive south brings you to the famous Honesty Box. It's a must-visit for fresh eggs, seasonal veg, and island baking. Don't forget your change! 🥔🥕

🌟 Pamelas's Top Tip: The Old Pier Cafe (Lamlash)
Sunday morning Cinnamon Buns, get there early as they sell out fast. Also a great place for fabulous cakes, Sausage rolls and coffees.
