Activities

Skye is known internationally as a destination for climbers and walkers and has something for everyone in terms of ability. From low level but spectacular walking in the Quiraing and along the Troternish Ridge, including "The Old Man of Storr", in the North West of the Island to the famous Cuillin range which offers challenging climbs or exhilarating hikes, but still with breathtaking views, on the easier routes.

The Island also offers many other outdoor activities including loch and sea fishing, sailing and spectacular boat trips – the trip into the heart of The Cuillins from Elgol on the "Bella Jane" is not to be missed. Whatever your interest please feel free to contact us for more information on activities that interest you.

For those seeking a less strenuous break Skye also has a great deal to offer in terms of history, culture and crafts. There are a range of small museums on the Island and you will come across many local craft shops in the villages as you travel about the Island – the highly regarded Edinbane Pottery for example is just four miles west of the Steading Cottage.

The availability of high quality local produce also makes Skye a great place to eat out with fabulous food available at places such as the widely acclaimed Three Chimneys restaurant, the Loch Bay Seafood restaurant or a wide range of choice of restaurants and Hotels in and around Portree, all within an easy drive of the Steading cottage.

Whatever your interest we are sure you will have a peaceful, satisfying and highly memorable break in Steading Cottage on the Isle of Skye.
