Travel Info & Local Advice
Staffin is located in the area of Skye known as Trotternish. This is the north-eastern wing of the Isle of Skye, and its name is derived from the Norse, meaning Thrond's Headland. Trotternish can justifiably boast of having more than its fair share of natural beauty. Every turn of the road presents a magnificent prospect of mountains, moorland, lochs and sea. Trotternish invites the visitor to discover adventure and beauty but it has something else to offer that goes a long way to make a holiday memorable - "hospitality". You will find people friendly and only too happy to help you or share their knowledge of the area with you. The culture is unique, orchestrated as it is by the ancient Gaelic language spoken and sung by the local people. If your idea of the perfect holiday is discovering interesting places, meeting friendly people and finding new things to do at a leisurely pace, then this area of Skye is the place for you. The most popular way of getting to Skye is by road, as once you are on the island it is best to have your own car to go sight seeing.
...by Road Once on the Isle of Skye, follow the main A87 road until you reach Portree, the Islands capital. From Portree head north on the A855 and follow the signs for Staffin. This is a beautiful scenic coastal route, however please take care as some of the road is still single track! As you enter the township of Staffin you will be presented with a fantasic vista of Staffin Bay and the Trotternish Ridge. Carry on down through the village, as you approach a signpost for 'Stenscholl' The Inn is on the right, through a gate and down a short drive.
...by Coach Citylink operate a service to Portree from Glasgow or Inverness. You can travel to both these destinations by air or train or for Coach connections to other parts of the UK try National Express.
...by Air Easyjet fly from London Luton Airport to Inverness daily. Easy Car Hire available at Inverness Airport. British Airways operate a service from London Gatwick to Inverness Inverness is about three hours drive away by hire car, alternatively you can travel from here to Portree by Coach or to Kyle by train.
...by Train The night sleeper runs from London to either Inverness or Fort William. From Inverness, there are connections to Kyle of Lochalsh. From Fort William, there are connections to Mallaig (sometimes by the Jacobite Steamtrain). The ferry leaves from Mallaig to Armadale on Skye.
...by Ferry Caledonian MacBrayne operate a ferry from Mallaig to Armadale. Alternatively there is a small car ferry (seasonal) which runs from Glenelg to Kylerhea on Skye. This sailing is definitely worth doing if only for the scenery!
