Could you ask for cuter neighbours to share the view with? 🐑 You might spot these woolly locals grazing in the field in front of the Armadale Castle Cabins. Sometimes, they even wander a bit too far! One of our guests once helped a lost lamb find its way back.Stay with us, and who knows? You might discover a passion for crofting.Glèidh àite-fuinch aig www.armadalecastle.com #ArmadaleCastle #scottishhighlands #isleofskye #ruralliving

Back in the day, people used to think frost was the work of fairies, causing mischief. Looking at the hypericum, I can’t help but wonder if the fairies are still at it.#ArmadaleCastle #springgarden #visitskye #scottishfolklore
