Ardcana Luxury Spaces - Marble

The township of Breakish offers the most magnificent sunsets and each one is never the same. Our cabins have been built around the view of the everchanging sky across the island of Pabay and the Inner Sound between Skye and Raasay. Both spaces feature a huge picture window, allowing you to take in the view from the comfort of your bed. The space This cabin was designed and built by our team at McLaren building, taking inspiration from the past and Skye's fascinating history. This can be seen in features such as the copper bath and the hand-crafted bed. The idea behind the bed was the vision of the owner and primary designer of the cabins, Cristien McLaren. One day, while walking in the local area, he found a piece of old railway track. This track had belonged to a railway line that was known as the marble quarry line. In the early 1900s Skye began cutting marble blocks and exporting them for sculpture making, using the marble line to transport the huge pieces from Swordale to Broadford. This marble industry still exists today, however it uses blasting with explosives and the railway line has long since been abandoned. We feel we have created a truly special place for you to relax and unwind, while enjoying the rich culture of Skye.
