Location
Boris is situated in Kensaleyre (pronounced: ‘Ken-sal-ire’; Gaelic: Ceann Sàil Eighre), which is a small crofting township on the edge of Loch Eyre. He very conveniently lives half way between Portree, which is the largest settlement on Skye, and Uig, where the CalMac ferry sails daily to and from Harris and North Uist.
For keen walkers, Kensaleyre is on the western side of the Trotternish Peninsula. The Trotternish escarpment runs the full length of the peninsula, about 20 miles, including the famous Quiraing in the north and the Old Man of Storr, just north of Portree.
For those wanting to explore Skye, Boris can be found in the local area of Skeabost, with the ancient St Columba’s Isle nearby, whilst Dunvegan Castle and Coral Beach are about half-an hour’s drive away to the west, and Staffin, Kilt Falls and the dinosaur museum are about the
same distance to the east.
Loch Eyre hosts a wide variety of sea birds, and sea eagles have been spotted occasionally soaring over the hill opposite to Boris! If you are a wild swimmer or enjoy boating, access to the loch is literally a two-minute walk away.
