Skipness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skipness (Scottish Gaelic: Sgibinis pronounced [sg̊ʲib̊ɪnɪʃ]) is a small hamlet on the east coast of Kintyre in Scotland, a few miles south of Tarbert and facing the Isle of Arran.
There is a ruined castle and Kilbrannan Chapel, which contains some rare grave slabs. There is a nearby cafe that serves fresh fish from the area, and beer brewed on Arran, which can be seen from the castle. Also in the area, there is an organic tannery. There are cottages available to rent in Port Na Chro near the town that are situated by a beach. Both the castle and the chapel date from the 13th century, and are maintained by Historic Scotland.
