Things to do in Isle of Skye, Scotland: The Best Museums
The landscape is dramatic—even a bit moody, with the Cuillin Range in the background—but outdoorsy kids will have a blast on the Isle of Skye. Plenty of water sports are available, and you’ll also find great hiking and even pony rides. Portree, the largest town, makes a great base for exploring this striking island.

We've been to Skye a number of times, but not been to the Skye Museum until now and it was well worth the visit! First of all, there was room to park (busy holiday period) and handy toilets. The black houses are very well equipped and informative, the shop is well stocked and reasonably priced and it's only a few minutes walk up the road to Flora McDonald's memorial. Great value at £3 per adult.

We chanced upon this museum on our travels around Scotland. The gentleman who looks after the museum is a real character. Full of knowledge and pride. Cheap to enter and worth every penny. A fascinating story of this very tall Scottish man (and General Tom Thumb). Full-size model and the story about him. Ideal for all ages.

Up a little lane within walking distance from the centre of Portree you will find me, my art gallery and my art. From gifts to large paintings inspired by the local scenery, there is something here for everyone. Plenty of parking, a garden for the kids to run around in while you browse and always a warm welcome, so come on up!
