living on the croft
Welcome to Bonnie Brae Croft, our owner-occupied croft with modern self-catering bothies in Earlish, North Isle of Skye – a peaceful retreat surrounded by sweeping sea views, native Highland livestock and unforgettable sunsets.
Our Croft
Over a decade ago, we fell in love with Isle of Skye and for the last two years we have been living our dream, leaving the buzz behind. This is a perfect home base for us, Claudia & Colin, and our animals; Highland Cattle, Hebridean Sheep and Hippie Chickens, Ducks, Honeybees and of course, Luna, our wee Border Collie.
Join us on our croft and enjoy the bliss!
Our Story
Bonnie Brae Croft began with a simple dream: to slow down, leave the busy world behind, and live closer to the land on the Isle of Skye. Today, that dream comes to life every day through the native livestock we care for—pedigree Highland cattle, hardy Hebridean sheep, characterful poultry and busy honeybees. Chosen for their resilience to Skye’s dramatic weather, these breeds help us farm responsibly while protecting traditional crofting skills. Visitors are welcome to discover how our animals shape daily life here, learn about sustainable crofting, and experience the authentic charm of a working croft with wide horizons, honest produce, and a story still unfolding.
