Popular craft market Exclusively Highlands returned to the Wildwoodz venue on the Black Isle at the weekend.

Visitors turned out in force to enjoy fresh food and drink as well as browse a range of hand-crafted items from jewellery and antlers to cheese.

Exclusively Highlands tours Scotland throughout the year to bring the market to different communities, often coming to the Black Isle woodland venue.

In 2021, the group welcomed more than 12,000 visitors to their events.

Last weekend saw the first outing for new coffee and cake vendors NaeBad Coffee, run by brother and sister duo Benjamin and Shauna Aris. They converted a horse box to use and bake their own delicious cakes.

They said the day was an incredible start to their business and thanked those who supported them.

Kirsty Stewart, who organises the events with her mum and sister, was delighted with how it went.

She said: “Exclusively Highlands are delighted with the turn out, it’s lovely to see everyone out and about enjoying the beautiful sunshine and supporting small businesses.

“We love bringing talented people from all over Scotland to this unusual venue and hope to be able to continue to give crafters and food/drink producers a platform to promote their goods.

“We are so grateful for the continued support of the area, it has allowed us to develop the venue and make it better each time. The car park finally seems to have reached the right size!

“We’ll see you all again on June 11 and 12.”
