About
A museum, historic castle ruin and landscaped gardens at the southern end of Skye. The Museum of the Isles explores Clan Donald and wider Highland history, while outdoor paths connect gardens, woodland and viewpoints. The mix works for families and changeable weather, though much of the visit remains outdoors. It is close to Armadale ferry terminal and has a large free car park, making it a practical first or final island stop during the published season.
