The Garden of Skye
Eilean Iarmain
 

Eilean Iarmain - Isleornsay (pron ellan earman, and isle ornsay, means dry island). A very pretty harbour, with a hotel, shop, art gallery and Skye's first public toilet (1820). It was a main west coast herring port, with a busy shop and salt store in the harbour buildings and is now part of Fearann Eilean Iarmain, the local estate. Gavin Maxwell of otter-writing fame lived in the lighthouse cottage. The road through Camus Croise is worth exploring.
