The town is known as the western gateway to the Highlands and Islands, There is a good range of local shops and provisions stores including a mid-size co-op. There are also a number of boutique type specialist shops, cafés and restaurants including the Samphire Seafood restaurant which sells mainly locally sourced produce. The George Hotel has always drawn people to the area and has an enviable reputation for providing award winning food and drink as well as hosting regular live entertainment at the weekends.
