Eilean Iarmain faces a little tidal island and is one of the most sheltered harbours on the south of Skye. It is a gentle place to stretch your legs, watch seals and look across to the mainland. The village inn serves food and is a good lunch stop on the road to Armadale.

Good to know

  • Look for seals on the skerries at low tide
  • Stop here instead of Portree for a quieter lunch
