Finding Us on
Skye: Head west on the A87T from the
Skye Bridge (join the A87T at Broadford if using the Mallaig Ferry).
Follow signs for Portree, Uig and Dunvegan.
At Sligachan turn left on to the A863 following
signs for Dunvegan. One mile before Dunvegan, turn right onto the single
track - A864 signposted Portree. Two miles later turn right onto the main
A850 signposted Portree.
Fairy Bridge is the next junction, - turn left onto
the B886 for Waternish. After four miles you will gasp at the view and see
Stein on the shore below and to the left. Follow the road, turn left at
the T-junction, descend the hill and prepare for a cup of tea - you have
arrived!
Alternatively, from Broadford follow A87T signs to
Portree and turn left onto the A850 for Dunvegan (passing the Co-op
supermarket). Fairy Bridge is four miles past Edinbane. Turn off right for
Waternish onto the B886.
