The crofting community of Staffin is located along the shore of the northern half of the Isle of Skye. This peaceful community, which has views of Staffin Bay and Staffin Island, has something for everyone, including two restaurants, two stores, a part-time Post Office, the Staffin Slipway for sailors, the only sandy beach in the north of Skye, and a variety of coastal and interior walking paths. The major town on Skye, Portree, is located 17 miles down the coast, and from there, it is simple to travel throughout the entire island. The magnificent Trotternish Ridge, with the renowned and majestic Quiraing as its dramatic centrepiece, is easily accessible from Staffin and is a sanctuary for walkers.
