Cnoc Ard - Self Catering Accommodation Colbost Isle of Skye
Cnoc Ard is a modern well equipped detached property situated in the village of Colbost in the North West of the Island of Skye. It is five miles from Dunvegan and positioned on a hillside, enjoying an uninterrupted view over Dunvegan Bay.
The property occupies a site previously owned by the Glasgow and West Coast Mission, who sent Missionaries to the islands following their institution in 1855. Later on, from the mid 20th Century, it was used as accommodation for nurses who came to tend the sick in remote communities throughout the highlands. Two years ago the original building was razed to the ground and the property rebuilt as comfortable modern holiday accommodation.
