About Unish

Unish occupies a remote spot on Skye's Waternish Peninsula, reached via single-track roads from the A850 through Dunvegan. This isolated crofting settlement faces the Atlantic from dramatic clifftops, with one EV charging point serving the scattered peninsula communities. The ancient cemetery holds centuries-old Gaelic headstones, their inscriptions worn smooth by relentless Atlantic weather.
