Wildlife
Rare Breeds
Not strictly wild but a great visit anyway, at Craig Highland Farm, a Rare Breeds Conservation Centre. See and feed unusual sheep, goats, ponies, pigs, llama, owls, rabbits and fowl.
Bright Water
The Bright Water Visitor Centre, set on the pier at Kyleakin on Skye, opposite Kyle of Lochalsh, is dedicated to local wildlife and the local history of the area, with activities for visitors of all ages, and a shop selling quality local products and hand made crafts.
Boat trips are run the short distance to Eilean Ban, the White Island, underneath the Skye Bridge. A warden will guide you through the island's history and show you the wildlife hide, the nature trail to the lighthouse, and the cottage once occupied by Gavin Maxwell, author of Ring of Bright Water, and famed otter naturalist.
Serpents & Reptiles
n Broadford, Skye, is the Skye Serpentarium, the award winning reptile exhibition and breeding centre, and a memorable experience for all. Enter the world of snakes, lizards, frogs and tortoises in bright natural surroundings. An experienced reptile keeper is in attendance and there are frequent snake handling sessions.
Sea Trips
Our sea trip page will give you information on how to get out on the water, with plenty of opportunity to view the local marine and bird wildlife.
