Day 2 - Monday 26^th May - Croft Visit

After breakfast, make your way to the shores of Loch Greshornish to visit a local croft. You’ll get the chance to meet their animals, as well as gain insight into the daily routines of crofting and the life of their sheep and how they produce ethical wool. Following that, join the host in her workshop and listen to a brief history of fleece preparation, hand spinning, the reasons and history behind their uniquely hand knitted designs. This offers a unique opportunity to understand about Croft sustainability on the Isle of Skye. You will have some time later today to head out for a hike with your guide if you wish, or perhaps visit the nearby Skye Museum of Island Life, a small local museum which opened in 1965 with the aim to preserve a township of thatched cottages, each one depicting, as closely as possible, the conditions prevailing on the island at the close of the nineteenth century.
