LOCATION

The pretty fishing village of Uig is to be found in the Trotternish peninsula in the north of Skye, sheltering in front of the basaltic coastline cliffs along a horseshoe shaped bay. Walking in this area is a must, with the famous Trotternish Ridge close by, taking in the Quiraing in the north to the Old Man of Storr further south. The area is rich in wildlife with regular sightings of golden eagles, sea eagles and the elusive corncrake, otters and dolphins. The village itself has facilities such as such as grocers shop, Post Office, petrol station and shop, pottery, hotels, and of course the ferry to the Outer Isles. Portree, the Island capital, is only approx. 15 miles from Uig where you will find enhanced amenities such as secondary schooling (to which a bus runs daily), shops, supermarket, restaurants and hotels, swimming pool & leisure facilities, banks, local hospital, chemist, dentist, and bus links to the south.
