A crofting township along the shore of Loch Dunvegan, Colbost is best known for the Three Chimneys, a former crofthouse turned restaurant with rooms that has drawn food lovers to this far corner of Skye for years. There’s also a small folk museum in a restored blackhouse next door. It’s a short drive from Dunvegan village out on the B884.
