Located in the heart of Islay’s agricultural landscape, the Islay Auction Mart is part of the United Auctions network—Scotland’s leading livestock auctioneers. The mart plays a vital role in the island’s rural economy, helping producers market both store and finished stock to buyers from across the region.
With a strong focus on cattle and sheep, Islay Mart supports the island’s active crofting and farming communities, offering a reliable route to market and keeping rural trade alive on this beautiful and remote island.
The farming community on Islay is tight-knit and traditional, with most producers combining cattle and sheep on family-run farms. While older native breeds once dominated, today’s market favours Continental breeds with faster growth rates. Nonetheless, there’s a strong local identity and pride in the quality of island stock.
This is a mart where community matters, and where your advertising can build genuine rural brand trust.
Despite its remote location, Islay Mart sees high engagement from the local farming population and offers a great opportunity for targeted, island-based advertising. Regular sales keep traffic high during sale days, especially in the busy spring and autumn seasons.
