📍 Our home

Sligachan sits at the very heart of the Isle of Skye, where the glen stretches between the Red and Black Cuillin. It’s the place we’re lucky enough to call home, surrounded by some of Scotland’s most spectacular mountain scenery and one of the island’s most recognisable landscapes.

From the old Sligachan Bridge and the River Sligachan to the paths leading deep into the Cuillin, there’s plenty to explore here. Whether you’ve come to walk, photograph the mountains or simply take in the views, Sligachan is a place to experience Skye at its wildest.

********************

Sligachan Old Bridge

One of Skye’s most photographed landmarks. The old stone bridge frames uninterrupted views of the Cuillin, especially striking at sunrise and sunset when the mountains catch the changing light.

Norman Collie & John Mackenzie Statue

A memorial to two pioneering mountaineers who helped map and explore the Cuillin. It’s a quiet but powerful reminder of the area’s climbing heritage.

Seumas’ Bar

A famous Hotel with an even more famous whisky bar. Seamus’ has a legacy that dates back decades, houses over 400 whisky’s and is home to live music at the weekends. A popular pit-stop after a day exploring the island. 

Alberto’s Tacos

Located on-site at Sligachan Campsite, Alberto’s serves freshly made, slow-cooked tacos from 5pm every day. Authentic, simple and full of flavour - the perfect post-walk meal without leaving the glen.
