Equipment includes washer and tumble drier, microwave, fridge, electric cooker, T.V., video, and payphone. Bed linen, towels, coal and the first five pounds of electricity is included in your rental. Should you decide to stay in one of our cottages, you will experience the fresh sea air, watch the abundant wild life including Golden Eagles soaring above and rabbits scurrying below.
Local places of interest include Dun Beag Broch, (ancient fortification), two Iron age underground dwellings, visiting one involving a lovely long walk up in the hills. Struan is a central location for touring all of Skye, the Outer Islands and parts of the mainland. Worthwhile things to do while staying with us include a visit to the historic and magical Dunvegan Castle home of the Clan Macleod to see the magical Fairy flag. Visit Talisker distillery at Carbost; try a dram, you will be surprised how things seem to have a rosy glow afterwards.
Take a trip on the Kyle Line the most scenic railway route in Scotland, if not the whole U.K. Skye is full of contrasts, beautiful, sometimes stark and forbidding, sometimes majestic and awesome then in the twinkling of the eye, soft and magical. Skye is a paradise for photography and artists alike with the ever-changing moods created by the varied weather on beautiful views.
About The Island of Skye
The Island of Skye, situated off the West coast of Mainland Scotland, is the largest and best known of the Inner Hebrides. Sometimes referred to in Gaelic poetry and song as Eilean a' Cheo (The Misty Isle), Skye is renown for its natural beauty, history and wildlife.
The Cuillin Hills, the Red Hills and Blaven have long been favourites with climbers and walkers. If you don't fancy the high places, the deeply indented coastline means you are never far from the sea.
Wildlife abounds on the Island, with birds from the tiny Goldcrest to magnificent Golden Eagle, mammals from Pygmy Shrew to Red Deer and fish from Saithe to Salmon. If you are lucky you might catch sight of the elusive Otter playing on the shore. The wide range of geology and topography provides habitats for many wild flowers.
As you travel around the Island it's not unusual to hear snatches of Scottish Gaelic, the indigenous language of the area. Gaelic culture and heritage pervade the atmosphere, each part of the Island having its own tales of times past and plans for the future.
