Places to go around Shoormal

Shoormal is 6 miles from Dunvegan where you can buy fresh vegetables and home made bread which is second to none.

Dunvegan castle dominates the entrance to Dunvegan Bay and it a great visitor attraction. It is an easy drive along the shore to the Coral Beach on the headland, an easy and very rewarding short walk.

There is often live music at the Aros Centre and at the Dunvegan Hotel on a Thursday and Friday night, watch out for the Peatbog Faeries, our local super-group.

We have wonderful food at the Stein Inn in Waternish and one of the best restaurants in the world in the Three Chimneys in Glendale - but you'll need to book early!

Whether walking on the Troternish Ridge or the Cuillins, sampling the king of whiskeys at the Talisker Distillery and the Gallic Whiskey centre in Isle of Oronsay, shopping in Portree and broadford, taking a boat trip to see seals or sea eagles, enjoying one of the many live music events during the year, or going for a Seafari from Armadale - you'll have a great time.
