Skyeskyns is the last remaining commercial wool skin tannery in Scotland. It is run by the second generation of the Hartwell family. Their sheepskins are natural with designs that vary as much as the sheep on the highlands do. They are featured in the décor of most establishments on Skye and the mainland. Clothing, footwear, belts and jackets are made from the skins and jerseys, cardigans and ponchos are knitted from the wool. The main showroom is a 5 star destination in Portree. At the Waternish tannery, a yurt pops up in spring, where coffee and confectionery is served.
