Armadale Castle Gardens & Museum of the Isles   
Armadale Castle Gardens & the Museum of the Isles are really two fantastic visitor attractions for the price of one. Planted with exotic trees, shrubs and flowers, the 40 acres of gardens are a delight at any time of year.


Aros Park   
Aros Park offers a fine mosaic of experiences. There are wonderful views of Tobermory and Calve Island, and over the Sound of Mull to the cragged faces of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. The Park forms an important key to the cultural heritage of the area.


Castle Moil   
The 14th Century Castle Moil has had many names in its long history. Also known as Dun Akyn (Norse for Hakon’s Fort) and An Caisteal Maol inGaelic, it is now a romantic ruin.


Cill Chriosd Chapel   
Travelling along the road from Broadford to Elgol on the Isle of Skye, visitors will pass the atmospheric ruined chapel of Cill Chriosd with its interesting graveyard.


Duntulm Castle   
Set on Trotternish, Skye’s most northerly peninsula, Duntulm Castle is an ancient fortification. It started life an Iron Age broch and then became a Pictish fort. The Vikings then used Duntulm as a strategic stronghold. Finally, it was used as a castle first by the MacLeods and then by the MacDonalds.


Eilean Ban   
Once the home of the writer Gavin Maxwell, Eilean Ban is a small island between Kyleakin and Kyle of Lochalsh. Now a stepping stone for the Skye bridge, the six acre island is a wildlife haven run by the Eilean Ban Trust as a conservation site.


Elgol Beach   
To reach Elgol on Skye’s Strathaird Peninsula, visitors need a good set of wheels and plenty of time. The township is just 14 miles from Broadford but the whole route is via a single track road, albeit scenic.


Iona Abbey   
Iona Abbey is one of the major targets for Christian pilgrimages and a centre of Celtic worship tradition within the UK. The Abbey was founded by St. Columba and a group of Irish monks in 563 AD.


Kilt Rock   
Located on the east coast of Skye’s Trotternish Peninsula, the striking rock formation known as Kilt Rock is a 200 foot high sea cliff. The massive columns of dolerite have the appearance of pleats in a tartan kilt.


Lews Castle   
Lews Castle built by the Mathesons in the 19th century, on the West Side of Stornoway Harbour. Sir James Matheson who purchased the island in 1844 built mock-Tudor folly in the 19th century.
