PICTURES: Exclusively Highlands returns to Wildwoodz with local businesses

THE Exclusively Highlands market returned to Wildwoodz on the Black Isle on May 7-8, showcasing local food and crafts.

Jewellery, cheeses and even items crafted from antlers were among the wares on display for the crowds who turned out.

Exclusively Highlands tours Scotland and in 2021 welcomed more than 12,000 visitors in total.

Kirsty Stewart, who organises the markets with her mum and sister, was delighted with the latest event.

“It’s lovely to see everyone out and about enjoying the beautiful sunshine and supporting small businesses,” she said. “We love bringing talented people from all over Scotland to this unusual venue and hope to be able to continue to give crafters and food/drink producers a platform to promote their goods.

"We are so grateful for the continued support of the Inverness area. It has allowed us to develop the venue and make it better each time.

"The car park finally seems to have reached the right size!"

It was the first outing for new business NaeBad Coffee, run by sister and brother duo Shauna and Benjamin Aris.

They recently converted a horse box to create the café on wheels.

Exclusively Highlands will be back at Wildwoodz on June 11-12.
