Luib, Gaelic for ‘bend, ’ as its name suggests, sits in the sweep of the main A87 Broadford to Portree road with the mountains on one side and shore of Loch Ainort on the other. From here there are lovely views across to Raasay, Scalpay and even on a clear day, across to Applecross on the mainland. Rich in wildlife and beauty it is ideal for spotting local wildlife including otters, dolphins, porpoises, eagles, herons, and the odd whale or two. It is also a perfect base for a range of outdoor activities such as walking, fishing, sailing, cycling, canoeing etc. Luib is a crofting community, rurally situated yet only 15 miles or so north of the Skye Bridge.
