LOCATION
The Duirnish Peninsula is in the northwest of the island and is arguably one of Skye’s most scenic areas, a craggy wild area of natural beauty stretching to the west from Dunvegan, home to the Colbost Croft Museum and the acclaimed Three Chimneys Restaurant. The landscape is dominated by the flat-topped ‘MacLeod’s Tables’. It is an ideal location for outdoor pursuits, with a wealth of beautiful inland and coastal walks to enjoy, and an abundance of wildlife and birds.
From Colbost, the nearest main village is Dunvegan which is approximately 5 miles away, where you will find a good range of local amenities and the historic Dunvegan Castle. The island’s capital, Portree, is approximately 30 miles away and has a greater range of amenities.

The property further benefits from uPVC double glazing and heating via a NIBE Ground Source Heat Pump and underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor. The solar panels installed provide electricity to the property and are also connected to the National Grid.
