To find Colbost you must follow the roadsigns for the B884 road to Glendale. The Three Chimneys is on this single-track road, approximately 5 miles from the centre of the village of Dunvegan in the north-west corner of the Isle of Skye. The Restaurant and The House Over-By are whitewashed buildings next door to each other on the lefthand side of the road facing the sea.

Driving over the toll-free Skye Bridge from Kyle of Lochalsh; follow the A87 trunk route through Broadford and onward as far as the Sligachan Hotel in the centre of the island. The hotel is distinctive as it stands on its own, surrounded by the Cuillin mountains and near a large campsite on the right. The road forks here and you take the lefthand turn on to the A863 road to Dunvegan, travelling up the west side of the island.

When you reach the outskirts of Dunvegan, where the street lights begin, turn left on to the B884 to Glendale. You will pass the fire station on the left and should keep following this road, taking the sharp bend to the right, driving below the flat-topped hills, MacLeod’s Tables, and alongside Loch Dunvegan on your right. You will see Dunvegan village on the opposite side of the water to your right and will pass Skinidin before arriving at Colbost.

Driving from the town of Portree or the Uig ferry terminal; take the A863 to Dunvegan right to the junction opposite the Dunvegan Hotel. Turn left and drive through the village. Just past the Post Office on the right and the Old School Restaurant on the left, there is a right turn signposted for Glendale and also, the local Kinloch Campsite. Take this single-track road until you reach a junction facing a series of brown and white signs, one of which points right to The Three Chimneys on the B884, some 3 miles further from this junction. Dunvegan village is now on the opposite side of the loch on your right and you will pass Skinidin before arriving at Colbost.

Driving from Armadale, the Mallaig ferry terminal in Sleat at the south end of Skye; take the A851 to Broadford, join the A87 trunk road and proceed through the town. Follow directions as above for driving from the Skye Bridge.

Drivers using satellite navigation should note that many refer to the Caledonian MacBrayne car ferry crossing from the Port of Mallaig to the Isle of Skye, as being the most direct route. Now that there is a free crossing over the Skye Bridge, it is unnecessary to take this route and certainly no quicker, nor more direct. We appreciate that visitors may prefer to come over the sea to Skye, but please check the timetable in advance. The Mallaig ferry does not run a full service all-year-round. Booking in high summer is also essential. The A830 to Mallaig and the A82 and A87 to Skye, all go through Fort William. There is no charge to cross the Skye Bridge.
