Broadford Attractions

Set in an idyllic rocky landscape Loch Coruisk is best viewed from a boat. It is linked to Loch Scavaig by a river and lies at the foot of the black Cuillin Hills or Coolins.

One of the most interesting excursions from Broadford starts with a visit to Loch Scavaig (15mi/24km) which affords a splendid view of the Blaven (3042ft/927m) followed by Loch Slapin and finally Elgol, a tiny village with a steep descent to the coast. The breathtaking view from Elgol encompasses numerous offshore islands. "Bonnie Prince Charlie" is said to have hidden from the English in one of the nearby caves.
