Location
Uig is the main ferry terminus with regular sailings to the outer isles of Harris & Lewis via Tarbert and the Uists’ via Lochmaddy. Local services include a general store, petrol station, pub, bakery and the local Skye Brewery. The nearest primary school is in Kilmuir and secondary education is provided in Portree, some 18 miles to the south, together with all the facilities you would expect of a modern town (although known as ‘the village’) including supermarkets, shops, banks, cottage hospital, swimming pool and library. With its ferry links, Uig benefits from a daily bus service to Portree with onward links to the mainland. It is also only a short distance to the heart of the Quiraing and the Trotternish Ridge and a short drive to the north you have the ruins of Duntulm Castle.
Directions
From Portree take the A87 to Uig. Continue through the village towards the ferry terminus and take a right immediately before the Caledonian MacBrayne offices. Follow the road until you reach a T-junction and turn right. 26 Idrigill is situated on the right hand side.
