The picture above shows the Western Isles ferry about to arrive
at Uig Pier on a sunny winter's day. Our bed and breakfast, and campsite
office, are the last but one of the row of houses along the shore from the pier.
The campsite itself is a long grassy strip (a former croft) across the road from
the house.
So if you are coming from Tarbert or Lochmaddy on the ferry,
just turn left as soon as you are off the pier and you will be at the campsite
in no time. Visit the Calmac site
for the latest Ferry Timetables (if planning your holiday in advance make sure
you choose the summer or winter timetable as appropriate)
If you are driving from the mainland, there are three ways to
get to Skye. The most straightforward is the Skye Bridge from Kyle of
Lochalsh to Kyleakin, but there is also a
Calmac ferry from Mallaig to Armadale, or the summer-only
Skye Car Ferry from Glenleg to
Kylerhea, but note that the road to Glenelg is not recommended for caravans.
If you come via either of these ferries, follow the signs for
Broadford or Portree until you are on the A87. If you come via the bridge
you will already be on the A87. Follow the A87 all the way to Uig Pier.
Continue as if you were going to drive onto the pier, and then take the
right-hand turning just before the pier starts, and we are a short distance down
that road as described above.
If you are coming by bus, the
Citylink coach goes to Uig Ferry
Terminal direct from Glasgow, Fort William and Inverness, with connections from
all parts of Scotland. There is also a local bus service from Portree run
by Rapsons Coaches
The nearest train station is at Kyle of Lochalsh, from where you
can get the Citylink bus. See
Scotrail site for train
times.
The nearest
airports are at Inverness
on the mainland, and
Benbecula and
Stornoway on the Western Isles.
