A Local Hub for Skye’s Craftsmanship
Nestled in Broadford’s Market Square, The Skye Gift Company is a small, independent shop that celebrates the creativity and heritage of the Isle of Skye. It specialises in Scottish and Highland products, offering a carefully curated selection of gifts, crafts, and souvenirs made by local artisans. Whether you’re after a hand-knitted woolly hat, a piece of Skye-inspired jewellery, or a jar of local honey, the shop provides a genuine taste of island life. The owners take pride in supporting local makers, so many items on the shelves are produced on Skye or elsewhere in the Highlands, giving visitors a chance to take home something truly authentic.What You’ll Find Inside
The shop’s interior is bright and welcoming, with displays that change seasonally and reflect the rhythms of island life. Shoppers can browse a wide range of items, including textiles, ceramics, prints, books about Skye, and a variety of homewares. There are also Scottish-themed gifts such as tartan accessories, whisky-related items, and locally produced food and drink. The selection caters to all tastes and budgets, from small tokens like postcards and keyrings to more substantial pieces like handcrafted glassware or high-quality knitwear. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to share stories about the makers and the inspiration behind many of the products.More Than Just a Souvenir Stop
Beyond shopping, The Skye Gift Company serves as a friendly introduction to Broadford and the wider island. Its location in the heart of the village makes it an easy stop between hikes, drives, or ferry trips, and it’s often one of the first or last places visitors drop into when exploring Skye. The shop’s focus on local products means it also acts as a mini showcase of Skye’s creative community, helping to sustain small businesses and craftspeople. For many, it’s not just about buying a gift, but about connecting with the island’s culture and taking home a piece of its spirit.Visiting the Shop
The shop is open daily during the main tourist season, with slightly reduced hours in the winter months. It’s easy to combine a visit with a coffee at a nearby café, a stroll along the waterfront, or a look around the other small shops and galleries in Broadford. Parking is available nearby in the Market Square and surrounding streets, and the shop is within comfortable walking distance of the Co-op and the main village amenities. Because it’s a small, independent business, opening times can vary, so it’s worth checking ahead if you’re planning a special trip. Whether you’re looking for a gift for someone back home or a small treat for yourself, The Skye Gift Company offers a warm, unhurried shopping experience that feels distinctly Skye.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
