Uig
Isle of Skye
Scottish Highlands
An architectural masterpiece styled as a traditional Scottish longhouse—boasting high vaulted ceilings, a viewing mezzanine, a wood-burning stove, and a private slate patio surrounded by dramatic glen scenery.
Set less than a mile from the coastal village of Uig on North Skye, this luxury detached holiday cottage offers a contemporary twist on the classic Scottish longhouse. Nestled in a striking landscape that has served as the backdrop for blockbuster films, the property pairs high-end architectural design with effortless access to Skye’s most mystical natural wonders.
Architectural Longhouse Design: Features soaring vaulted ceilings, warm timber floors, light-flooded living areas, and a signature viewing mezzanine over the main lounge.
Minutes from North Skye Landmarks: Situated under 4 miles from the enchanted Fairy Glen, Castle Ewen, and the hidden Rha Waterfalls.
Cozy Highland Comforts: Sunken living space centered around a roaring wood-burning stove for atmospheric evenings after a day on the trails.
Wildlife & Puffin Spotting: Ideally located near Uig Bay for seasonal boat tours to spot Atlantic puffins (nesting late April to July), white-tailed eagles, and seals.
The Interior
Thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and views across the glen, the home features a flexible layout split across two wings and two levels:
Main Living Spaces & Mezzanine
Vaulted Open-Plan Living & Dining: A social hub featuring a family-sized dining table, crisp contemporary decor, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the glen.
Sunken Lounge with Wood Burner: Stepped down slightly from the dining space, this cozy lounge is anchored by a charming wood-burning stove.
Viewing Mezzanine: Reached via a wooden staircase from the hallway, this elevated gallery offers a tranquil spot to read, relax, and take in the countryside views.
Equipped Kitchen: Chef-ready kitchen overlooking the main living area, fully fitted for group self-catering.
