Things to see

Duisdale House Hotel is ideally situated for exploring all areas of Skye together with enjoying low level walking through the tiny villages of white washed houses; by the shores, through the forests or testing rock-work, climbing in the famous Cuillin mountains.

Sleat is an area known for its unique highland culture. Together with the excellent work of the well known Gaelic College, Sabhal Mor Ostaig which is part of the Highlands and Islands University, this area is now famous for its musical events throughout the season and a splendid Feis being held in mid July which attracts many visitors from the UK and overseas. Sleat - the soft, green and wooded southern peninsula of the Isle of Skye. The traditional phrase "The Garden of Skye" tells only part of the story. There are gardens in Sleat, but as the name suggests there is a gentleness to the area. There is colour all year, from stunning carpets of bluebells in May and banks of Rhododendrons in June, to the summer wild flowers.

A modern Highland estate at Isleornsay, a thriving Gaelic College at Ostaig, and an award-winning Visitor Centre at Armadale Castle have all enhanced the peninsula of Sleat. It is lively, exciting and beautiful - a place where you can get a real feel of a Highland community at work.
