Shed-chic is big on Skye. This contemporary, tin-roofed wooden building, overlooking Loch Harport and next to the Talisker Distillery in the picturesque village of Carbost, is one of the island's hippest coffee shacks. Jamie Fletcher's bijou café/takeaway – complete with moreish cakes, traybakes and top toasties – is also big on principles. That means ethical trading, local sourcing and sustainability across the board: beans from Edinburgh-based Artisan Roast; tea from loose-leaf specialist Eteaket; hot chocolate from Coco Chocolatiers. Caora dhubh is Gaelic for 'black sheep' and this speciality coffee hub stands out from the flock.
