Location
The Isle of Skye, or in Scots Gaelic 'Eilean A Cheo' meaning Misty Isle, is located on the north western coast of Scotland and is a world-renowned holiday destination for a great number of reasons, appealing to a wide range of visitors. Skye’s the Limit Tea Room and Skye Accommodations are located directly opposite the Uig ferry terminal. The properties prominent roadside position is ideal to capitalise upon this busy location. Uig hosts the main ferry terminal linking Skye to the Outer Hebrides. This terminal facility is about to be remodelled, with completion due in 2023. The work is being undertaken to meet the needs of the new ferry vessel. This development is expected to increase visitor numbers to the village. The village also has other local attractions; the Uig Pottery, The Isle of Skye Brewing Company and a brief drive away is The Old Man of Storr. Uig is a short car journey from Skye’s principal town of Portree.
Portree is the cultural hub for Skye, and the largest settlement with a population of about 2500. During the season the town’s population swells many times over with the influx of tourists. The name of the town comes from the Gaelic Port-an-Righ, which translates as "King's Port" and dates to a visit by King James V. Portree is a bustling port and a thriving cultural centre, and was also the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie spent his last days in Scotland. Among the attractions of Portree is the award winning Aros Centre which incorporates an exhibition capturing the drama of Skye's history. The Aros centre is also the access point for walks in Portree Forest. Portree has an abundance of interesting shops and is a must-see location for those visiting the Isle of Skye.
Skye’s rugged Cuillin Mountains are world renown to walkers and climbers. Visitors are drawn to the spectacular Trotternish Ridge to the north as this wild area is dominated by astonishing rock formations such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock and the truly extraordinary pinnacles of the Quaraing. Fishing, water sports and genealogy are constant attractions along with breath-taking scenery, castles, distilleries and a Highland welcome.
The influence of the sea is also never far away (you are never more than 11 miles from sea) with sea fishing and a wide range of water sports available, including diving and kayaking. Wildlife cruises sail from various locations from which you might be able to spot seals, lovable otters, great golden eagles or even rare and mighty sea eagle.Accommodation
