Fodor's Expert Review Skyeskyns
Waternish Peninsula
Factory
A 15-minute tour of this working tannery gives visitors excellent insight into the process of salting, washing, and preparing sheepskins. You'll learn the source of such phrases as "on tenterhooks" and "stretched to the limits," and you can buy sheepskins from the on-site shop (there's another outlet in Portree). In summer, there's also a lovely little yurt café around the back.
