Scalpay Activities

Scalpay is a tranquil retreat for those who would truly enjoy a different experience in a quiet and secluded island environment. It is NOT suitable for those who want organised entertainment or supermarket shopping. Abundant wild life and flowers, fishing and boating, walking, bird-watching, painting, photography, reading, writing, and relaxing is what this peaceful setting offers. Boats trips can be arranged with our boatman so that visits/picnics can be enjoyed on the nearby islands or the white sands of Sandy Bay.

Should you wish to include more to your experience you can arrange for the boat to take you over to Skye so that you can explore this famously-romantic island.
