Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Undiscovered Scotland, the ultimate online guide to Scotland. The site is a combination of visitor guide, accommodation listing and business directory, and aims to show you what the country is really like. We also offer website design, maintenance and hosting services.

In Focus
The Museum of
the Isles on Skye forms part of the
Clan Donald Skye Visitor Centre, just ¾
of a mile from from the terminal for the Mallaig ferry
at Armadale. First established in 1975 within the only

in March 2002 to a purpose built museum set within
Armadale Castle Gardens. Scotland is home to

of the Isles must be the best. ( More ...)
