Broadford is Skye's second largest village and one of the island's main service hubs. It's the perfect place to stock up on essentials, enjoy excellent food and coffee, and explore the quieter south of the island. While many visitors simply pass through after crossing the Skye Bridge, it's well worth slowing down and spending a few hours here.
