Nestled on Scotland’s breathtaking north coast, Skerray is a remote crofting hamlet offering a tranquil escape. Its name, meaning ‘between the rocks and the sea’, perfectly describes its dramatic setting on a rocky promontory.
Explore the village on foot, discovering charming thatched cottages and the local art gallery showcasing resident artists’ work. A gentle stroll leads you to the remarkably beguiling Skerray Harbour and Skerray Bay, ideal for soaking in the peaceful coastal atmosphere. You can also venture to nearby Torrisdale’s burial ground for contemplative views towards Bettyhill.
