Hope you enjoy yourself Christine. I was up at the Centre a few years ago and loved looking round. The grounds are so pretty. Didn't use it for research (sadly, now that I know my Great Grandfather was born there lol) but had a great time. Let us know how you get on. Have you been to Dunvegan Castle in your previous travels there? Fantastic place.

I remember passing the Clan Donald centre, last summer when I was up there for my holidays. Caught the ferry from Mallaig over to Armadale and went on a coach tour of the island. Magical part of the world.

This centre is definitely worth a visit. If you have time you might also see the Skye Museum of Island Life in Kilmuir in the northern part of the island. It is a lovely little museum with a fair amount of family history information. If you have Skye ancestors named McLeod it is of particular interest. Carol Franklin

Thanks to you both. I've been to Skye many times but never to the centre, will certainly give it a visit!

Also try www.highlandconnection.org. Tells you all about whats available at the Clan Donald Centre. By the way, Armadale is a lovely little place to visit even if you're not searching for your roots! Have a great time and hope the midges don't get you... Pam

I am going up to Skye this year and was wondering if anyone had used the centre for their research? As most of my rellies are from Skye I wondered what's available there. Thanks Christine
