Skye & Lochalsh is the working base for a wide variety of artists and craftmakers for whom the west coast of Scotland holds a particular fascination. Inspired and motivated by unique lighting and unusually eroded and sculptured geological forms emanating from extreme weather patterns, they are stimulated to produce a visual feast for the eyes.

You can choose to visit our high profile and internationally known artists, or alternatively, take one of the many arts and crafts trails and discover a new and exciting talent, "off the beaten track".

The many sales outlets to source for locally made gifts vary from well known companies like the Island's own soap maker, to small bespoke jewellery makers, where unique designs await the discerning buyer.

Look out for the free guide booklet, "Elements of Excellence", detailing makers and trails, available at arts and crafts outlets.
