What to See

Uig is an ideal location from which to explore the Isle of Skye and especially the famous Trotternish Ridge, with its spectacular scenery, museums, wildlife and walks.

Trotternish (Tròdairnis) is the northernmost peninsula of the Isle of Skye. We are located in one of the three major settlements on this Peninsula (Uig), the other two being Staffin over on the east, and Portree to the south.
