Mackinnon Cottage is a self-contained wing of the main house. Mackinnon Cottage sits within the 85-acre Corry Lodge estate, which boasts 1 km of private coastline and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The land is home to migratory birds, local mammals, and occasional sightings of otters and dolphins. Corry Lodge itself is a historic site tied to the Fingon-Mackinnon clan, who have lived on Skye for over 1,000 years. Their legendary ancestry includes marriage to a Viking princess, buried atop Beinn na Caillich—the "old lady’s mountain" visible from the estate.

The Corry Estate is a charming community in its own right, offering excellent access to the wider Highlands and surrounding islands. Within the estate, guests can enjoy scenic walks through open land, up the hills behind the property, and along the shoreline. The sea is visible from nearly every vantage point, with stunning views across Broadford Bay to the islands of Pabay and Scalpay, as well as Applecross and the mainland Highlands. The landscape also features dramatic views of the Cuillin mountains, including Ben na Caillich—home to the legendary Viking Princess’ tomb. The Lodge is within easy walking distance of Broadford, a peaceful village with a selection of local shops and a variety of restaurants, most offering takeaway options. Dining highlights include: The Harbour Restaurant, known for its excellent seafood and paella The Claymore, offering hearty traditional dishes like haggis, fresh fish, and sticky toffee pudding Cafe Sia, famous for its wood-fired pizzas Sia Away, serving great fish and chips Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Cuillin Mountains (both the Black and Red Cuillins), a striking feature of the local landscape. Many other islands and Highland attractions are also easily accessible. The area boasts breathtaking coastal scenery, walking trails, abandoned villages, and a variety of outdoor activities. Photography and wildlife watching are particularly rewarding, with frequent sightings of otters, seals, dolphins, white-tailed eagles (Britain’s largest bird of prey), and occasionally orcas, whooper swans, and Brent geese. For those preparing for camping or day trips, a large, well-stocked Co-op is located nearby, along with a hardware store in Kyle of Lochalsh. The Highlands community is committed to keeping everyone safe and continues to welcome visitors with care.
