Facilities on Raasay

It's best to visit Raasay prepared. Here are a few things we recommend:

• Dress for all weathers, we suggest good boots, and layers.
• A non-digital map such as an ordinance survey
• Bring food as you may not be near somewhere to eat when you need it.
• Enough petrol, there’s no petrol station on the island so make sure you have enough fuel 

There are public toilets at the ferry terminal as you arrive.

There's no bus on the island, so to explore the north end you'll need a bike or a car.

The ferry for Raasay leaves from Sconser on the east coast of Skye and arrives on Raasay about a mile (1.6 km) from the village of Inverarish.

To reach Brochel wood, take the road from the ferry terminal and follow the signs to Inverarish village. At Henderson's Bridge take the left hand fork to Arnish. The forest entrance and car park is 7½ miles (12 km) along this road.

You can also park at Brochel Castle, ½ mile (800 metres) further on.
