wet weather activities on Skye

Talisker distillery

Talisker is the most famous whisky distillery on Skye. It is over on the west of the island at Carbost. The malts it produces are sweet, full-bodied single malt with a faintly peaty taste. The distillery was founded in 1830 by two brothers and was so successful that it had its own pier, tramway, cottages and even its own currency!

The distillery has a very well equipped Visitor Centre where you can book yourself onto a distillery tour. The reception area has displays and interpretation posters all about Talisker, its history and its whisky distilling process. Before departing on your tour you also get a generous dram of the 10 year old malt for tasting. There is also a shop on site where you can use the discount voucher you receive when paying the entrance fee for the tour.

Pottery experience

The pottery in Uig at the ferry pier, just 10 minutes walk from Woodbine House organises a hands-on pottery experience.
