Dingwall? Some kind of self defence/weapon should be the top of your list! :p

Highland Industrial Supplies used to be cracking anyway, but years since I lived near Inverness. My dad even buys his jeans there.

Ah yes MoreCash, but already found those. You missed the candlestick maker…. still can’t find one

I’m actually on the Black Isle near a village called Culbokie….

I have now found the bike park just down the road….

Learnie? Some good stuff in there!

Highland bikes, shore street inverness.

You forgot a brewery…… Black isle Brewery is good

I could help you but as you’ve just implied my employer as being fraudulent when they are not means I’m out.

Outdoor shop – have have good experience in Craigdon Sports

Bike shop

Monster Bikes on Canal Street. Mark (the owner) will go the extra mile. The other shops in the town make you feel like your custom is an inconvenience to them.

Outdoor shop

Macphersons in the Victorian Market. Second place would be Craigdon.

Forget Highland Industrial Supplies

Macgregor Industrial supplies is much better and will cover a few of the above needs…

Car tyres: Inverness tyres are good.
Garage, Subaru garage in Beauly are great, there is a place near the BMW garage that is also good but I can’t remember the name!
Electrician: me? Not self employed though so can only work for magic beans/90’s XTR kit in case hmrc get wind 🙂

Your not far from Contin, get round there for a pedal!

If you need a helicopter, then I can recommend PDG out at Dalcross. 🙂

Second Monster Bikes. Glad to hear Mark’s still going – really top guy.

Bike shop
Square wheels in Strathpeffer, Monsterbike in town

Outdoor shop (that knows what it is talking about)
Craigdon seem OK, haven’t used one in yonks though.

Metal supplier (to buy metal tube sheet etc)
Grampian Steel, may need an account though. Good to deal with and deliver to the area every Tue and Thursday.
Otherwise Don McChristie sheet metal in Alness

Car tyre specialist (not Quickfit/A-Clark, but specialist who will give sound advice and knows their stuff)
Invergordon tyres, Goodtread in Alness, Dingwall tyres

Car wheel Specialist (as above)
Brae Classics, between Dingwall and Strath. Will also do tyres and other blasting work.

Hardware shop (like Machine mart)
McGregors Industrial – streets ahead of HIS

Car audio specialist
Is Sammy Lee still on Grant Street?? Good boom boom cheep cheep! 🙂

Car parts supplier (like Halfrauds, but preferably not Halfrauds)
Highland Motor Parts, Autosave, Dingbro( need account tho),

I’m afraid Sammy Lee closed down a good few years ago, although I still see him walking around the town. I think it’s a charity shop now.

His boomboom was indeed cheep cheep, but it certainly wasn’t good 😆

Thanks all. Good stuff

I’m actually on the Black Isle near a village called Culbokie….

good man, all the best people are from the black isle 😉
