• The Skye Museum of Island Life - A collection of thatched croft houses depicting life on the Isle of Skye in times gone by.
The Skye Museum of Island Life is, in the opinion of many, the finest visitor attraction on the Isle of Skye, apart of course from the natural scenery. It is not publicized to anything like the same extent as the island's other attractions, and this web site is an attempt to put that right. The pictures and text on the web site are copied directly from the beautiful booklet produced by the museum's owners a few years ago.
The Museum is a group of seven thatched cottages exhibiting life on the Isle of Skye in former times. The exhibits relate mainly to the village life of ordinary people, but there are also items connected with the crofter rebellions in the nineteenth century, items used by Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald, weapons from the age of clan warfare, and even Stone Age axeheads used by Skye's earliest inhabitants.
