Things to do whilst staying at Millburn

Looking for things to do on Skye isn’t difficult. But one of the things we have become aware of talking to our guests is how difficult it can be to decide where to stay on the island to visit these places. The island might look relatively small on a map but you have to take into account the many single track roads, other road users and of course the fact the roads have to go around all the majestic mountains. We have made a list of our five favourite places to visit within ten miles of Millburn. Places recommended by guests too.

The World Gathering, ‘Parliament’, of the Clan MacLeod takes place in Dunvegan every four years and the next is 23rd – 29th July 2022. This should be an interesting week here in Dunvegan.
