A la decouverte de Skyeskyns

“40 years ago Clive and Lydia, my parents, were looking out across the panoramic views here in Skye when they had the idea to find a way to make use of sheepskins that were being wasted locally. Since then we have grown into tanners, makers and suppliers of luxurious sheepskins, home accessories and sustainably-made clothing.Waternish, the heart of the business, is where our beautiful showroom and tannery are based. We love to offer visitors the chance to witness craftsmanship and hear our story; our tannery is a renowned 5* visitor attraction.Over the years and with our ethos of ‘treading lightly’ and care for this environment guiding our journey, we have expanded our wee business to include a stylish boutique in Portree, a seasonal pop-up yurt café with a view and an online business which delivers to our many long-standing customers all over the world. Thanks for stopping to find out more!”Jess Hartwell
