Down a little side street off Wentworth Street in Portree. Up some stairs and into the wee fabulousness that is the physical location of www.sona.scot
Sona means happy (among other things) in Gaelic and this shop is just that!
If you’re looking for a cool sweatshirt or hoodie to remind you of your visit (and let’s face it the amount of AI pants overflowing at the moment is monumental) then Caitlin’s designs are for you. If you’re after stickers, vinyl records, tablet or other smaller souvenirs there’s loads to choose from. I’ve already done all my Christmas shopping (epically smug face) and a lot of it was done in Sona.

Things to do while you’re staying with us without travelling too far.
Lovely hour at Sauna Na Mara with Cath Waters Scottish Landscape Art. Cooling down with little bob abouts in the loch looking at the Cuillin. You can book the sauna via their insta page.

Waving at Johnny across the water on my way to Ullinish today. Skye is so delightfully crinkly it’s hard to work out what’s on the other side. But this one I know… 👋 💕

So long, and thanks for all the fish (risky target demographic right there).
Last night we had our last ever dinner at Loch Bay in Stein before their final service tonight. Loch Bay was our first ever fancy meal out in Skye, the place we celebrated milestone birthdays with friends we love, showed visitors the best of the Skye larder and laughed and ate and felt utterly treated.
Fortunately for future visitors there are other wonderful places for your holiday treat meal. When you book with us you get a list of restaurants , pubs and takeaways we recommend on the island for all budgets.
Images are of the scallop course from Loch Bay’s tasting menu. As you know I love a scallop.. also a wee box with chocolates we just couldn’t manage. I don’t want to open it because that would be admitting it’s all over. I should have taken a picture of the extraordinary pudding but I limit myself to one picture per meal and I shot my shot early.

It’s the end of an amazing season, our busiest yet. It’s been wonderful and as the snowglobe of my brain settles I’ll share some of it with you. For now here’s my twinkling preparations with Meghan and Twiglets, a beautiful Herb Robert at dawn and a wonderful meal we had at The Dunvegan Skye. Still dreaming of the domino potatoes.
I know early Christmas preparations divide the room but shhh let me enjoy myself…

It might be 3 days til the end of our season but we’re still operating with the care we did at the beginning of the year. Jon and Amy were up before the birds and took a packed breakfast with them for sunrise on Storr.
Images are just after sunrise from near The Old Man, eggrise, a wee cheery note and the F Scott Fitzgerald quotation on the bathroom mirror in Room 1.

When the camera captures your good side and the backdrop makes you glow. Don’t forget we’re dog friendly.
Image is of Ollie the canine cloud relaxing his toe beans in room 1 with a glowing countryside behind him. One of the 17 weathers we had yesterday.
