Find out moreThe Isles of Skye & Raasay
The Isle of Skye is one of the Inner Hebridean islands that lies off Scotland’s beautiful west coast. It is the largest of these islands and is now easily accessible by road as well as by ferry due to the toll-free Skye Bridge. Skye’s satellite island Raasay sits to its east and is a wildlife lover’s paradise due to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream. Pine martens, golden eagles, sea eagles, otters and dolphins have all been spotted here.

Two Beautiful Islands to Explore
Skye is an island of ageless romance and steeped in history; the famous Skye Boat Song tells of Bonnie Price Charlie's escape after the battle of Culloden when he was aided by one of Skye's most famous daughters, Flora MacDonald, who disguised him as her maid! Her house beside the Flodigarry Hotel can still be seen and her grave and imposing monument are in Kilmuir Churchyard.

It is the stunning scenery that brings most people to these islands. On clear days the outline of the mountains against the sky is quite breathtaking, but even the mists imbue the landscape with an unforgettable, haunting beauty.
On Raasay you feel as if you are stepping back to a gentler, more peaceful age, but it too has its history. The peace it enjoys today was dearly bought, with so many of its former inhabitants being ejected during the Clearances.
Nowadays, however, visitors can have the best of both worlds, the peace and escapism of Raasay, with the easy passage back to the Skye 'mainland' making it possible to enjoy all the activities and tourist attractions there as well. If you fancy a game of golf while you are there, for example, you can leave the car on Raasay and need only carry your clubs across on the ferry. The golf course at Sconser is right beside the ferry terminal on the other side!

20-Sep-2024 | Upper Liddesdale Cottage GF6 (overall) | The cottage is immaculate in a beautiful setting with an amazing view over Loch Sunart. Our second visit here and we love and so does our dog. Our evening visitors are an added attraction in the shape of two pine martins looking for their nightly snack of peanuts and the odd egg | ||
20-Sep-2024 | Rose Cottage at Luss GD3 (overall) | Rose cottage was a beautiful cottage with views overlooking Loch Lomond. The decor and facilities were lovely. Very big garden and not overlooked. We were so lucky with sunny warm weather we could even sit on the deck chairs looking at the view! One little thing I’d suggest is as there is very little in the way of a shop nearby, just a few basics of tea, coffee, sugar and salt and pepper! We brought most things with us and cooking facilities were great but I’ve never been anywhere where there wasn’t a few essentials Apart from that little suggestion it was lovely. | ||
20-Sep-2024 | Farr Beach View GZ8 (overall) | Clear descriptions and information, enabling the user to quickly identify suitable properties. Payment process very easy and efficient. The location map area could be a little more precise, without giving away the property address. Not keen on having an upfront damages charge taken. We would never leave a property with damage. Otherwise, good service. | ||
20-Sep-2024 | Mary Ann's Cottage AE5 (overall) | The staff are always so friendly and helpful. If you ask a question that they don’t know the answer to, they will go out of their way to find out. | ||
20-Sep-2024 | Bruadar Cottage GX9 (overall) | I would definitely recommend Bruadar Cottage. The cottage is delightful and if we didn’t live almost 800 miles away, we would certainly return |
