Peat and Diesel's shop has taken residency in the old Parlett's Newsagents in Ullapool, which closed in August 2022 due to the impact of the cost of living crisis.

Band members Calum “Boydie” MacLeod, Innes Scott and Uilly Macleod, were even rumoured to have made a surprise visit to the shop to help serve the peatlemaniacs of Wester Ross on December 3.

Alongside the opening of the temporary shop, Ullapool's official lights switch-on also proved to be a great success, attracting a thick crowd for the moment the iconic Christmas creel tree was illuminated with Christmas lights.
