Peinachorran is part of a township called The Braes, historically famous following the battle over land there during the 19th century. The town of Portree, capital of Skye, is about fifteen minutes drive from the cottage, and there you can find a host of amenities including swimming pool, cinema and a variety of restaurants and shops.

Climbing, walking and sight-seeing are all available on the doorstep. Wildlife is all around you. From the kitchen window you can watch seals laze on a rock at the waters edge. When you are out, always keep an eye out for a glimpse of an otter, a golden eagle, or even a sea eagle. The deserted shore of Loch Sligachan, ideal for beach combing is a short stroll down the croft.  A sandy beach ideal for swimming and picnics is also within easy reach.
