Tigh a' Chiobair with The Hirsel

  The Hirsel
 

The Hirsel

~ the self-contained wing of a modern detached bungalow, the residence of Bill and Rena MacLelland, a Gaelic-speaking Skye couple.  The accommodation is 200 yards from the shores of Loch Eishort.

Ord

~ is a small unique village in Sleat.  It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Skye.  Ord commands the most breathtaking views of Blaven across Loch Eishort and is the place to capture the most spectacular sunsets.

There are varied walks in the surrounding hills and glens where you may catch a glimpse of a golden eagle, buzzard or a red deer, or you may prefer to stroll along the rocky foreshore to the coral beach.

You may choose to bring your own boat, canoe or windsurfing board and enjoy the safe three-shored sea loch and view at close quarters otters, seals and many sea birds.

Sleat

~ is the Garden of Skye.  It is the island's most southerly peninsula with spectacular views to remote Knoydart on the mainland and to the Small Isles.  There are still many unspoiled crofting townships which you can visit.  A few miles away there is Sabhal Mor Ostaig, the Gaelic College, and the nearby Clan Donald Centre, with its world-renowned centre for local and family history research, its restaurant, gift shops, gardens, nature trail and its recently-opened museum.

Isle of Skye

An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, the winged isle, is one of the best known Scottish islands.  The scenery is varied.  Its Black Cuillin mountain range is the most spectacular in Britain ... a must for the walker, the climber, the photographer and the observer.

The island has many historical associations and places to visit.  There is Dunvegan Castle, the ancient seat of Clan MacLeod, and the Clan Donald Centre near Armadale.  Skye is also a stepping-stone to the Small Isles - Rhum, Eigg, Canna, Muck, and to the Outer Hebrides - Lewis, Harris and the Uists.
