Meet our stallholders.
On this page we showcase some of the small local businesses you may meet at the Made in Assynt Markets. Not all stallholders may be present at every market but don’t worry if you missed one or can’t make it on the day. Most of our stallholders are also online so you can browse and buy their products from home.

Mandy Haggith is a writer based in Assynt, in the north-west highlands of Scotland. Her work includes poetry, fiction and non-fiction and is mostly concerned with trees, bears and the sea. Yet people intrigue her, the way our minds work, how our relationships shape us and how we express ourselves in words, music and images.
