Title: Crofting on Skye
Post by: Hamish Crofter on June 22, 2013, 05:01:29 pm

Hi, we just wanted to say hello. Well, early retirement has finally allowed us to realise our plans.  We have found our land and have just purchased a 13 acre croft on the Isle of Skye. It will take some time to get up and running as we are going to build a house on the croft and the land has  been neglected for many years.
Looking forward to getting to know others on here. Anyone else on here that's on Skye?

 :wave: welcome from Shropshire. I have a feeling there is someone else on Skye and I'm sure they'll pop up soon.

The best of luck I am so envious, Skye is the most wonderful place, have been on holiday to cottages at Broadfoot and Elgin and just think the island is great.

Hi Hamish and welcome to the forum. I have friends on the island- Nancy and Stuart Bell who have the post office at Glendale. They moved there about 5 years ago from the Midlands.

Hi, small world as we looked at the post office and shop at Glendale last time it was up for sale!
