News From The Isle of SkyeWelcome to our News Page to inform you of "What's On" during your Isle of Skye Holiday. We will be updating this page on a regular basis to help you plan what to do during your Isle of Skye Holiday Update from the Isle of Skye – March 2010 Skye has surprised us with some snowy weather for the first time for several years. In January, heavy snow was forecast. A few days later, I found myself driving very slowly to work in bright sun, on a wonderfully clear day, trying to enjoy the fantastic sight of ice on the loch and thick white snow on the hills all around me while trying to avoid skidding on the very dangerous icy roads. As in the rest of the UK, we suffered with icy roads for a couple of weeks but there was the opportunity for some fantastic photography on the sunny days. After a short break the wintry weather was back for a few days but now we are now back to normal temperatures and our usual share of wind and rain but there are snowdrops out and the green shoots of daffodils and crocuses are starting to, so there is a feeling of spring on the way. This the time of year when many people start planning spring breaks, and Easter and summer holidays. Our website reflects this with increasing numbers of at this time of year. To be sure of getting your desired week or weeks booked at our popular Taigh na Traon holiday house contact us as soon as possible –or risk disappointment. Whatever the weather, you can be sure to find an almost endless choice of visitor attractions to suit all interests and ages.

Young children love the Serpentarium at Broadford where you can handle
the snakes and buy discarded snakeskins as souvenirs. Everyone enjoys
the Toy Museum at Glendale, where you are encouraged to play with the
toys and there is plenty of interest for those with a most historical
bent. Skye has several castles and whether ruined or restored, they provide
the perfect place for exploring the past that makes Skye and Lochalsh
so intriguing in the first place. Don’t miss Dunvegan Castle, seat
of the Clan MacLeod, for a look at an inhabited castle, and take the opportunity
to do a seal boat trip to visit the famous Dunvegan seals. At Armadale
Castle you can stroll around the beautifully landscaped gardens and learn
about the history of the Gaels in the excellent audio-visual exhibition.
Finally, don’t forget a visit to the island's only Distillery
- Talisker, located in the sleepy village of Carbost on the north west
of the island. Take home a bottle and savour the intense but smooth peaty
flavour at home to remind you of your self-catering holiday on the Island
of Skye.
