Made with
love from the
Highlands
Hi, I’m Finlay MacDonald, founder of Chocolates of Glenshiel. I’ve always had a passion for food, having grown up in the beautiful Glenshiel surrounded by outstanding Scottish producers. When I was sixteen years old, I began to experiment combining my two favourite things: delicious Scottish food and chocolate! Working away in my parents’ kitchen, I practised and practised, slowly but surely honing my skills. Now with my very own kitchen, café and gift shop in my beloved home Glenshiel, I work with a small team who share my love of – and dedication to – uniting the finest chocolate with locally sourced ingredients we discover in our day-to-day lives in the Highlands.
The story told by Finlay
Eilean Donan Castle
Loch Duich
A glen of
inspiration
I feel very blessed to live in a place as picturesque as Glenshiel – it really is a stunning setting for my wee kitchen. Its natural beauty is a constant source of inspiration as I expand our range and experiment with different flavours. We always make sure to use the best local ingredients, whether it’s locally foraged elderflower, whisky from Skye or gin from Harris. This coupled with views over the mountains and Loch Duich, I am never far from the Highland dream upon which Chocolates of Glenshiel was founded.

Meet the team
Bringing people together with chocolate
The cocoa industry is one with many flaws. Thankfully, we source our chocolate from an ethical supplier who is working hard to eradicate poverty and inequality in cocoa farms whilst empowering communities through childhood education and one-to-one support with farmers to help reshape their processes to be more efficient and safer; as well as tackling deforestation and striving towards a carbon neutral industry. To help do our part, we’ve teamed up with Village by Village, a fantastic locally-led organisation doing important work in Ghana – a country growing lots of the world’s cocoa – to help eradicate poverty and provide education and healthcare to communities in need. We asked Village by Village what we could do to help, and they told us that one of their top priorities at the moment is providing schools with clean water stations which has an enormous ongoing impact on the health of both students and staff. A proceed from each and every chocolate we sell now goes to providing clean water stations to Ghanian schools!
You can learn more about the brilliant work Village by Village are doing on their website, Instagram or Facebook.

Glenshiel is under snow ❄️
The Five Sisters look so like our gorgeous advent calendar design (painted by @discoveranddraw) today!
Anyway, snow on the mountains must mean winter is here. Which means we just might have a new Seasonal Selection out soon . . . 👀

We’re sure it’s not news to you that the cocoa industry is rife with issues. At Chocolates of Glenshiel, we source our chocolate from an ethical supplier who is tackling poverty amongst cocoa farmers and boosting education and healthcare; as well as fighting deforestation and striving towards carbon neutrality.
So – that’s what our supplier is doing. What can we do?
We’ve recently teamed up with @villagebyvillage – a really amazing organisation working with communities in Ghana (a country with many cocoa farms) to help provide education, clean water, healthcare and sustainable development. They work with local people in various Ghanian villages to establish needs and priorities, tailored to the individual communities. We spoke to founders Anna and Neil and they told us that the one of the top priorities for the charity at the moment is providing hand washing stations in schools, which has an immense impact on the health of both students and staff; the school attendance of children due to a huge reduction in illness; and their ongoing health due to the understanding of the importance of clean hands!
From now, proceeds from every chocolate we sell will go towards building water stations in Ghanian schools. We donated our first water station last week.
We are so thrilled to be working with Village by Village and are completely inspired by their passion for and devotion to their cause. Thank you for continuing to support us and eat all of our chocolate. You can now treat yourself totally guilt free, knowing that you’re providing invaluable resources to Ghanian communities by indulging your tastebuds!
