We strive to always have an extensive selection of books on offer, which reflect the most widely discussed, and most highly acclaimed, literature of the time. This is, of course, in addition to books which pertain to Hebridean and Gaelic history, prose, poetry, folklore and mythology.

In addition, we also have a variety of art supplies on offer, from a range of different brands: these include paints (oils, water-colour and acrylic), brushes, canvases, sketching and painting pads.

And…we’re a fishing tackle shop! A range of gear, suitable for both fly fishing (including locally made flies) and sea fishing, are available, such as rods, reels, lures, feathers alongside fishing books. We sell fishing permits (lochs and rivers) on behalf of the local angling association.

We also have an assortment of gifts, so whatever your interests may be, or whatever you may be looking for, we’re sure you’ll find something!

Carmina Gadelica's name derives from an outstanding collection of folklore, poems, proverbs, psalms, prayers and incantations in the Scottish Gaelic language, which was originally published in 1900 by Alexander Carmichael. 'Carmina Gadelica', a Latin name, can be translated into Gaelic as 'Ortha nan Gaidheal', or into English as 'The Song of the Gael'.
