This page presents an overview of the
webcams on or around Skye. There were three webcams operating on Skye at the
beginning of 2005. Regrettably only one of these is still
operating. Please read my appeal below on how you can help
change this.
Contrary to trends elsewhere in
the United Kingdom, two of the
three webcams operating on Skye during 2005
have closed down. If you are fortunate enough to live on Skye
with a view that would be of interest to the hundreds of
people who visit this page each and every day, please contact me. I will naturally provide and install the
webcam if you provide the view! Thank you.

Sorry, this webcam closed in February 2007 after six short months of operation. Thanks to Johnathan Bowker for hosting the camera during this time. The hunt is on for a replacement site!

Not quite a Skye webcam yet. This new webcam is currently
undergoing test in west central Scotland.

A new webcam on Skye is coming soon.
The software
and equipment for this webcam is undergoing test in
Central Scotland. The view
used to be of green fields, grazing cows and the Campsie Hills. In 2006 this view was lost to a new housing estate!

Eilean Donan Castle This sophisticated pan, tilt and zoom webcam, on the roof of 9-1-4 Outdoor Clothing and Equipment at Dornie by Kyle of Lochalsh, offers stunning views of Eilean Donan Castle (as seen on any shortbread tin), Dornie, Ardelve and Loch Alsh.
Loch Harport This webcam at Carbost on the Minginish peninsula of Skye looks north towards Loch Harport.
Skye Bridge This webcam is hosted at Kyle of Lochalsh on the Scottish mainland by Calco UK Web Services. It looks over the sea to Skye towards the Skye Bridge.
Sligachan Hotel This recently reinstated webcam looks outwards from the famous hotel towards Sgurr Nan Gillean, Glamaig and the old stone bridge.
Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness The main road from Skye to Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, passes Urquhart Castle. The castle nestles on the picturesque banks of Loch Ness, home (allegedly) to the Loch Ness Monster. Take a glass or three of Scotlands finest peat-flavoured brown water to increase your chances of seeing Nessie, the Loch Ness monster.
