Highlands & Islands
Where we would start, and two alternatives worth a call. Chosen on depot location, published delivery and payment terms and accreditation. Not on price, and not on star ratings.
Where we would start
Highland FuelsVerified as running depots on the islands themselves, at Lerwick, Scapa and Stornoway, which is what island households actually need. Founded in Inverness in 1957, with coverage across Scotland and the Highlands and Islands. For anyone off the mainland this island depot presence is the reason to ring first.
Also worth a call
GleanerA good call for Argyll and the Inner Hebrides, with depots at Islay, Mull, Connel and Dunoon.
Also worth a call
Simpson OilsWell placed for Caithness and Sutherland from its Scrabster and Wick depots.
Coverage of the islands themselves is the deciding factor here, and depot presence on the islands is thinly served by anyone else.
Confidence in this pick: medium. That reflects how much verifiable evidence we found for this area, not how good the supplier is.
These are suggestions of where to start, not a verdict on who is cheapest today. Prices move daily and no independent per-supplier price data exists for Great Britain. Ring two or three and compare on the day. These picks are editorial and cannot be bought; the only paid position on the site is the featured card held by our affiliate partner, which is labelled as such. How we choose.
