Broadford is a compact village on the eastern shore of the Isle of Skye in the council area of Highland, Scotland. Sitting around Broadford Bay, it enjoys sheltered coastal views and quick access to sea lochs such as Loch Slapin, with the dramatic skyline of the Cuillin hills visible to the west.
Historically a service point for fishing and surrounding crofting communities, Broadford today combines practical services for locals with a tourism role - shops, accommodation and outdoor-activity providers make it a handy base for hillwalking, boating and exploring Skye, while a lingering Gaelic and community culture gives the village a distinctly local character.
