The Ferry Stores, which includes a post office, convenience store and the only petrol station for miles, is looking for a new owner and operator.

This unique property is located in Kilchoan, the most westerly village on the UK mainland and just over 50 miles west of Fort William.

The village consists of several separate houses, all part of a rural community dependent on the Ferry Stores for their daily needs.

Kilchoan has a population of around 150, but this rises during the summer months with vacationers coming to the rural Highlands and nearby Loch Sunart.

There is also the nearby ferry terminal, where CalMac operates services between the village and Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.

The Ferry Stores is currently listed for £585,000 with DM Hall and comes with several unique features.
