The MacArthurs’ shop in Balinoe

The MacArthurs’ shop in Balinoe had one of the first horse-drawn vans, which was replaced between the wars by two motor vans. Calum, who ran the shop and croft with his brothers Colin, Archie and Duncan, was a great businessman.
Once, on his rounds, he was told that he would never be able to sell whelks (winkles), regarded at that time as a poor man’s food. Rising to the challenge, he took a bag around with him the next week and sold the lot in one day!
Around the entrance to the shop there used to be an alleyway of willow trees almost as high as the house, which was known as Taigh nan Craobh (house of the trees).

Jack Munn’s shop at Baugh

Donald Munn of Baugh and his wife Margaret Lamont had six children: Hugh, Donald, Dan Tulloch, John (known as Jack), Mary and Ann. Donald started a coal business, bringing puffers into Port a’ Mhuilinn below the house, and a shop called ‘The Store’.
Jack took over the shop, as well as the tenancy of Baugh farm. Being a full-time farmer meant that the shop was more often open in the evenings. He also ran a horse-drawn van, which would make the trip to Caolas every second Saturday with goods from his shop.
On his return through Scarinish, the boys of the township would lie in wait and try to clamber unseen on to the back of the cart in the hope of some free sweets, but old Jack was too fly for them and would send the tip of his whip curling around their ears. The shop closed around 1940.
