About Fanks

Fanks lies on Skye's Trotternish Peninsula, reached via the A87 and A856 through Portree, then local roads northeast. Most visitors drive the scenic 80-kilometre route from the mainland via Skye Bridge, whilst locals make short trips between peninsula communities. About 9 fast EV chargers serve the area, with the main hub in Portree. The settlement overlooks traditional creeling grounds where local fishing boats still work the same waters their families have fished for generations.
