Beachcomber Cottage, Isle of Skye

03/08/2026

We know that Beachcomber is special and people can't wait to stay, but turning up the day before your booking is taking it a bit far! Luckily the previous guests had left, or the new ones would have more than likely be sleeping in their car last night!

This looks fun

Less than 3 weeks to go!

"Skye's too busy". Take the time to ask the locals about their favourite walks and you may find yourselves the only people to be there. A magical walk today, wild flowers a plenty, otter and eagle sightings, old habitations, and just peace. (And a bit of shared Welly boot action at a burn, as the 'bridge' was a 'nope' all round!).

Living in a remote area has many many lovely things going for it. Getting the septic tank emptied isn't one of them! (Loved the wee jobbie!)

Nearly midnight. Shame about the clouds. Summer solstice.

Not great photos, but accurate in terms of what we could see with the naked eye last night from the back garden. You can see a flare moving.

Coral beach is always stunning. Today didn't disappoint, you really couldn't have asked for better weather. So many people stop at the obvious end of the maerl, but walking further gives a sea arch to look at and a view across the headland back towards Stein. We heard seals but only glimpsed them today.

Another stunning day out and about. Fabulous view of the Old Man of Storr.
