Skyeskyns

About

Skyeskyns is Scotland’s only commercial sheepskin tannery and a 5‑star visitor attraction nestled on the Isle of Skye. From the moment you step onto the Waternish property you’re transported back centuries, watching traditional tanning methods bring raw sheepskins to life. The free guided tours – available every day from 10 am to 4:30 pm – allow families, history buffs, and culture seekers to touch the process, ask questions, and even sample the fragrant oiled sheepskins. Afterward you can wander through the extant showroom, discover a range of rugs, accessories, and clothing, or relax with a cup of Yurt Café‑style tea overlooking the sea. The property is fully open all year round, and whether you’re a first‑time visitor or a seasoned crafts enthusiast, Skyeskyns promises an authentic, hands‑on Scottish heritage experience that leaves every guest with a memorable memento of the island.
