Welcome to SLEAT
(pronounced 'slate' rather than 'sleet')
Sleat - the soft, green and wooded southern peninsula
of the Isle of Skye. The traditional phrase "The
Garden of Skye" tells only part of the story. There
are gardens in Sleat, but as the name suggests there
is a gentleness to the area. There is colour all year,
from stunning carpets of bluebells in May and banks
of Rhododendrons in June, to the summer wild flowers.
A modern Highland estate at Isleornsay, a thriving Gaelic
College at Ostaig, and an award-winning Visitor Centre
at Armadale Castle have all enhanced the peninsula of
Sleat. It is lively, exciting and beautiful - a place
where you can get a real feel of a Highland community
at work. |
