We really appreciate when guests take time to write in the visitors book and we love to read about their adventures on Skye. Every comment makes us smile, some (usually referring to Skye's extreme weather) make us laugh out loud. This one we have to share for both its talent and humour, it is a true work of art, thank you ❤️

Aurora season may be over until autumn, but now the days are longer, there's more time to explore Skye and still get back to Portnalong and enjoy the sunset.

The Cottage is now fully booked until the end of September, but we have a couple of weeks available in the Studio in August and September. More information and direct booking via our website https://www.glendalesc.co.uk/the-studio/

Well hello Minginish and hello Spring 😃

Gorgeous starry night in Portnalong with a hint of an aurora to top it all off.

Poor Puddin', don't think she enjoyed her walk today. Should have stayed behind and watched the birdies feeding in the Studio garden.

04/02/2022

It has been a while since we posted a new aurora picture, but she was dancing in glorious technicolour tonight.
Almost makes up for missing the Taigh Ailean Hotel - Alan's House Friday quiz. 😉

In the Studio. Goodbye little green sofa, hello new brown sofa, complete with some colourful cushions from Skye Batiks 🥰

This evening, to celebrate the re-opening of hotels restaurants and cafes in Scotland, we sat outside the Taigh Ailean Hotel - Alan's House and had a couple of drinks in the beer garden before going home with a takeaway. Katie, ever welcoming, failed to disappoint in the shoe department, we talked to friends and the food, as ever was fabulous.
If you are coming to Skye this summer, please, please, please support local businesses wherever possible.
Oh yes and I did have Pina Coladas, but luckily the rain stayed away 😎🍹

Is it an eagle?
Skye is a fantastic place to watch for birds of prey. We are very lucky to have both golden eagles and white tailed eagles nesting around the island and there's a very good chance of seeing both when you visit.
Often you will see a large buzzard and think it may be an eagle, but when you spot an eagle, it is unmistakeable. The WTE in particular is enormous 😮.
Here are some photos taken locally where you can see just how much larger the WTE is compared to other birds.
Eyes to the skies 🦅🦅

We've had a cancellation in the Cottage w/c Sat 15th May 2021. For anyone thinking of taking a wee holiday on Skye, May is a lovely time of year to visit.

Looking forward to tasting this and more, washed down with a pint of the local brew!!

What’s happening #2 out of 3.
Takeaway. Seriously I feel like I have been deciding what to eat every day since 1850. It’s definitely time to get someone else to do the cooking.
From 26th April we will be serving our takeaway menu 5pm to 8pm every day. You’ll need to book your slot and we’ll do our best to put you in as close to your preferred time as we can.
The menu will be on the TA TA Taigh Ailean Takeaway page and specials will appear under the pinned menu post.
Hooray for takeaway.
{picture is of the fabulous TA burger, you can see 8oz of Scottish mince in a patty, with cheese on top. There’s a little pickle escaping. The bun is topped with sesame seeds and there’s homemade coleslaw and a green salad on the side. }

At last, some good news 🙂.

Based on the latest announcement by the Scottish Government, we are hopeful that we can start to welcome guests back to Glendale Cottage and Studio from May 2021, subject to travel restrictions and regional rules on indoor gathering.

The Cottage is now pretty much booked up until the end of September, apart from 1 week in May, but we still have a few weeks available in the Studio during June, July and August. Sleeps up to 3 people in 2 bedrooms, dog-friendly, with its own enclosed garden and lovely views, it's a great base for exploring the island.

Make new memories, visit Skye.
