Directions:
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
You can plan your journey using traveline.info
Public transport time tables change a lot between winter and summer. Please make sure to plan ahead. Start planning your journey by checking the ferry time table. Make sure you arrive in Mallaig before the last ferry departs.
You can catch a train from Fort William, Glasgow or Edinburgh to Mallaig, then get a ferry from Mallaig to Armadale.
We are right beside the ferry port in Armadale.
Bus services run from Inverness and Glasgow to Broadford, the nearest town. From Broadford you can get a bus or taxi or hitch hike to Armadale.
More details:
By Ferry: take the Mallaig-Armadale Ferry. Our entrance is to the South side of the ferry car park, on top of the rock.
Ferry timetables, service updates and ticket sales can be found at calmac.co.uk Summer time table or Winter. If you have a vehicle, you are advised to book your ferry tickets in advance. Foot passengers don’t need to buy a ticket in advance.
A few days before the journey, keep an eye on service updates here! The ferry gets cancelled in bad weather or have delays due to tide issues. If you get stuck in Mallaig, there is a hostel called The Mission near the ferry where you can book a bed to sleep in.
By Bus from Fort William, or Glasgow over the bridge: Bus times can be found here. If you choose this option, there is still a 15 mile hitch hike or bus journey or taxi journey needed. (see journey by road below) We don’t normally do pick-ups ourselves, but that is an option if needed.
By Car:
Cross the Skye Bridge and continue on the A57. Before you reach Broadford, turn left onto the Armadale road (A851), heading south. Follow signs to Armadale Pier and ferries for about 15 miles – you’ll find us on the right, beside the ferry car park. There you can see a track going up the hill. Follow it 🙂
If you are coming from the north of Skye, come through Broadford, then take the Armadale road (A851) on the right and follow signs to Armadale Pier and ferries (about 15 miles).
If you want to stay overnight, you can book our cabin here.
All bookings and arrangements and information will be handled on there.
Cars and Parking
If you have a car with you, you may park at our own private car park. This is located between ‘Ragamuffin’ and ‘Under the Rowan’.
You will see the signs. If needed, you may drive up the track to unload and bring it back down again, but you need to arrange that with us in advance or walk up first to meet us and for a tour.
To keep the feel of living close to nature, we try to keep our land car free. So please take your car down to our car park at the bottom of the track.
