Discovered this delightful little bakery while waiting for the ferry across to Skye. It's in a quaint and rustic-looking stone building on the old cobbled quay. The staff were both courteous and friendly. There was such a wide and tempting selection of croissants and pastries on display, as well as bread rolls with various fillings.
