Visiting Breakish & Exploring the Isle of Skye
If bird-watching is what you are interested in, Ardnish, being at the eastern edge of Broadford Bay is one of the best birding spots on Skye. It regularly picks up migrants on brief stopovers as well as the occasional scarce vagrant. The bay can often be relatively sheltered when gales are belting in from the west and there is a long window on the shore side gable end of the cottage so you can even view in comfort from inside!

Broadford is the second-largest settlement on Skye after Portree. A 5-minute drive, 20-minute bicycle ride or a stiff walk from Oystercatchers, it has a 24-hour petrol station that sells fuel for the wood burner and several shops. You will find the full range of shops, hotels, cafes, including an excellent large Co-op, Post Office, Chemists, Bank, Cottage Hospital, Tourist shops, churches and restaurants.
