• Driving:
• Our postcode is IV40 8PB but please be very careful when following SAT NAV because they wont always send you the least risky way.
• There are 2 routes you can take, firstly the Skye Bridge which is the simplest route most of the time. The Skye Bridge route only involves the Sconser to Raasay ferry. The other route is the Mallaig route which involves taking a ferry from Mallaig to Armadale on Skye and then (after another drive of 40/50mins) you take the Sconser to Raasay ferry. If you go this way then you must monitor the ferry timings, crossing status and weather conditions for 2 crossings which can be complicated especially on Sundays when both crossings have very limited sailings. If you are in doubt about your travel plans please contact us and we will be happy to help you plan your trip.
