HOW TO FIND US
From the Skye Bridge go right on the
A87 in the direction of Broadford.
Just after Sconser, take a left turn at Sligachan on to the A863.
After about 7 miles, take the left turn on to the B8009 to the Minginish Peninsula. Follow the road through Carbost and head up the hill after the Talisker Distillery towards Portnalong.
After about 3 miles, there is a junction, take the left road to Fiscavaig.
Glendale is the first house on the right immediately after this junction - it is easily identified by the semi circular drive.
The Cottage is on the right as you enter the drive and the Studio is on the left - both are well signposted and parking areas marked.
