Armadale Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

We had just got off the Ferry from Mallaig to Armadale, Isle of Skye and stopped to feed the baby in this delightful cove. The weather was unusually amazing for Scotland so we risked dipping our toes in the sea!

The Isle of Skye has many scenic places, not to exclude the simple yet busy little Caledonian ferry port in Armadale. #Beach #outdoors
Armadale Pier, Isle of Skye. Armadale Pier before it was altered in 1994 to create a linkspan for ro-ro car ferry operations. (If the photo were taken today, you'd almost be standing on the linkspan (ramp) leading down to the car ferry.) The boat is the Shearwater which was the passenger ferry from Arisaig to the Small Isles from the '70s. The "Shearwater" started life as a Harbour Defence Vessel and was used in the D Day landings, she remained in active service until 1958. A new Shearwater is now on that run.

An out of the way, very comfortable and welcoming, stay for the road-weary, traveling the highlands… only regret is that our itinerary prevented us staying longer! Out of the way but close enough to anything you’re visiting in the area, Skye, Eileen Donan…

Area of Harrapool was lovely and quiet. There was a co-op near by which was great being in a cabin with cooking facilities.
