LOCATION
The Retail Unit occupies a prominent roadside position within the settlement of Struan, a small and dispersed crofting community located on the west coast of the Isle of Skye, overlooking Loch Beag and Loch Bracadale. The surrounding area is characterised by rugged hills, open moorland, and expansive coastal views, contributing to a peaceful rural setting with strong appeal to visitors and residents alike.
Local amenities within Struan include a post office, church, and a small number of local businesses, with the wider area supporting an economy focused on tourism, crafts, and agriculture. The community is served by Dunvegan Primary School and Portree High School, providing educational facilities for families in the surrounding area. The location is popular with walkers, outdoor enthusiasts, and wildlife observers, with nearby attractions such as Dun Beag Broch and local beaches offering access to the island?s rich natural and historical heritage.
Struan is situated approximately 10 miles west of Portree, the principal town on the Isle of Skye, and is accessed via the A863, which connects to the island?s primary road network, including the A87 and the Skye Bridge, providing onward links to the mainland and Inverness, approximately 120 miles to the east.
Located within the Highland Council administrative area, the Isle of Skye is one of Scotland?s most established tourist destinations, renowned for its dramatic landscapes, including the Cuillin Mountains, the Trotternish Ridge, and extensive coastal scenery. Struan forms part of this wider tourism economy while retaining a tranquil character.
