About us

Providing self-catering accommodation, growing veg and having a few chickens were the only definite plans when we arrived. Things have somewhat evolved since then!Prior to our arrival here, Kevin was a freelance journalist and I was a housewife and mum to two lovely lads!  Both are still in the northwest of England along with their own families.Over the last ten years, life here has changed considerably, both at home and at work. The bed & breakfast side of things really took off and so after almost three years of working as a home carer, I gave it up to concentrate on all things ‘Garybuie’. For several years, Kevin has worked as administrator and fundraiser for the  Skye based charity, ‘Camp and Trek’. He also works in the community library.Looking after the veg plots, polytunnel and ever changing animal population takes up a lot of our time but occasionally we do get some spare time. Kevin is a hill runner – there are plenty of those! – and enjoys reading in the winter months. I also enjoy reading but drawing and painting I find very absorbing and have recently started taking Pet Portrait commissions. We also have a motorbike and enjoy ‘3-hour holidays’ over the summer months, taking a picnic to some scenic spot!
