“Like a lobster’s claw, ready to snap at the fish bone of Lewis and Harris.” So goes the most prominent historical description of Skye, Scotland’s second largest isle. And who could argue? With stunning Atlantic coastline jutting out in all directions from the rocky Cuillin Hills in the island’s centre, Skye offers rugged, beautiful terrain that you may well recognise given it’s been the setting for countless novels, Hollywood films and television dramas.

With an abundance of wildlife and soft sandy beaches along its coastline, it’s no surprise to learn that Skye has been voted for 4th best in the world by National Geographic magazine. Bespoke’s four properties can be found across the length and breadth of the island, amidst its cozy inlets and idyllic fishing villages.
