Our campsite wardens have been making the most of the glorious weather we have had recently. In their free time they have been kayaking, climbing, running, aurora spotting (and getting up a few short hours later to bake delicious pastries for our guests), not to mention drinking tea in the sunshine with a good book!

Just some of the colours of Glenbrittle 😍

Our fantastic team are working hard to upgrade the campsite’s vehicular access track for our happy campers. Given that the entire campsite is built on sand, the estate considered many different surfacing options over the years before settling on this poured concrete pad method which we hope will be Skye proof. The track is just under a mile long and will take two months to construct, but we have been lucky with the weather and hope to finish it well before we reopen. Another major investment in our beloved site!
