The Ferry Stores, in the remote village of Kilchoan, will shut its doors after struggling to fight off the decline in footfall and the advent of home delivery services
Morag Doherty says the men in the village will have to get their newspapers elsewhere now.
On Friday, the 66-year-old will close the doors of The Ferry Stores in Kilchoan, on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula in Highland, for the final time.
Doherty has worked in the most westerly shop on the British mainland since she was a child, running it with her husband, David, 67, for the past seven years.
But changing shopping habits, the slow erosion of footfall and the advent of home delivery have taken their toll. “The final straw was when Morrisons started home deliveries. That killed us.”
