Seasonal Secrets

Spring and summer bring longer, warmer days and it is when all the island’s tourist services and businesses are open. October to March however is the best time for stargazing on Raasay.

If you plan on running coastal paths and off-road then a sturdy, waterproof trail shoe with decent grip would be ideal for Raasay.
