Kyleakin · Isle of Skye · Scottish Highlands
Old Kyle Farm sits in Kyleakin, just over the Skye Bridge — giving you instant access to the Isle of Skye while keeping the wild shores of Loch Alsh on your doorstep.
The island is one of Scotland's most celebrated destinations, home to dramatic mountain ridges, ancient castles, world-famous distilleries, and some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in Europe. And from Old Kyle Farm, all of it is within easy reach.
Cross the bridge in two minutes and the whole island opens up. Return each evening to the calm of Loch Alsh — one of Scotland's most beautiful sea lochs — with seals on the rocks and otters in the shallows.
From dramatic mountain ridges to ancient ruins, wildlife encounters to whisky tastings — the Isle of Skye delivers experiences that stay with you long after you leave.
One of Britain's most dramatic mountain ranges — a jagged ridge of volcanic gabbro that draws walkers and climbers from across the world. The Black Cuillin is for experienced mountaineers; the Red Cuillin is more accessible for all.

Old Kyle Farm's position on the shores of Loch Alsh puts you at the heart of one of Scotland's richest wildlife habitats. Seals are a common sight on the rocks along the shoreline, and otters are regularly spotted hunting in the shallows at dusk.
The skies above Loch Alsh are home to white-tailed sea eagles — Britain's largest bird of prey — as well as red kites, ospreys, and peregrine falcons. Red deer can often be seen on the hillsides above Kyleakin, and porpoises are occasionally spotted in the loch.
This isn't curated wildlife tourism. This is simply what happens when you stay in a genuinely wild part of Scotland.
