Revealing how accessible Skye is For All
Dunvegan Castle is a top visitor attraction on the Isle of Skye and we are long overdue a visit. The ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for over 800 years the castle and gardens are full of history. Be sure to check their website for the most up to date information about opening hours, tickets etc before you visit.
Spring is coming to Skye so we went to the snowdrop day at Dunvegan Castle . It may be later than elsewhere in the country but after a stormy winter it is very welcome. The yearly snowdrop days at Dunvegan Castle are a chance to celebrate these first signs of life. As well as a chance to raise funds for local charities.
It is a short walk to the ruins of Dun Fiadhairt just north of Dunvegan. Here you find the remains of an Iron Age Broch some 17 metres in diameter. The structure reveals internal and external broch walls and doorways. Not a walk for wheelchair users but only a mile or so for those wanting to stretch their legs. If there has been heavy rain the ground is very very boggy so maybe visit in drier weather.
