Aultgrishan, Gairloch
Our pod looks out to sea to give you amazing views to Skye and Harris. Immerse yourself in the tranquil and beautiful surroundings and forget the rest of the world
Shiskine sits above a beach in the small crofting community of Aultgrishan. A very quiet and peaceful area, remote from people, traffic and noise, nestled between mountains and sea. With walks from the door, constantly changing colours in the sky and sea, it is a photographer's dream, and a place to unwind and relax.
Shiskine is 8 miles from Gairloch. To reach us you will drive along the beautiful coast road and along the clifftops to Aultgrishan, mostly on single track road. Our nearest shop is 5 miles back down the single track road towards Gairloch.
Gairloch is a typical highland village strung out along the shores of Loch Gairloch, and has been inhabited since the Iron Age. It has several hotels, restaurants and coffee shops, as well as other amenties, and a working harbour from where you can take boat trips in search of dolphins and whales.
The Gairloch area is a UNESCO Biosphere and a National Scenic Area, with nearby Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve being the oldest in Scotland. This is a Special Area of Conservation, with Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and Geological Conservation Review Sites. We also have a Dark Sky Discovery Site (Milky Way class).
The pod has a breathtaking uninterrupted view out across the Minch to northern Skye, through double glazed French doors. You will have panoramic views reaching to the Cuillins on Skye, the distant Quiraing, The Shiant Islands, Harris and Lewis. Ideal for watching wildlife, glorious fiery sunsets, early morning visits by red deer, or the ever changing seascapes and skyscapes. If you're lucky you may even get a sight of the Northern Lights.
