Small museum about a giant (an ancestor of the owner) from Berneray. "Giant MacAskill", Angus Mor MacAskill (1825-1863) was known as the world's largest "true" giant (with normal proportions and no growth abnormalities), reaching a height of 7 ft 9 in. He moved to Stornoway then Canada, and never lived on Skye.
Angus MacAskill was a Scottish giant. In its 1981 edition, the Guinness Book of World Records stated he was the strongest man, the tallest non-pathological giant and the largest true giant in recorded history at 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 m), now equal largest after Olivier Rioux matched his height in 2024. He also had the largest chest measurements of any non-obese man at 80 inches (203 cm). He is the second tallest verified man from the United Kingdom.

Ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years, built in the 13th century but much altered and prettified in the 19th. The "Fairy Flag" is an ancient silk heirloom, steeped in hoaky legend and tenuously-connected miracles; it's probably from Syria and may date back to the Crusades, though family tradition puts it much earlier. Other heirlooms are the Dunvegan Cup, dating to 1493, and Sir Rory Mor's Horn which may be 10th-century Norse.
