Useful Links and/or Updates
Tidal Update (Skye & NW Highlands):
On Sping Tides allow more than 1 hour either side of low water to avoid the North Channel drying out, would suggest nearer 3 hours.
The Glenuig Inn offers accommodation and fine food/drink, along with being very kayak friendly with local knowledge: http://www.glenuig.com
