We have been Isle of Skye Elopement Photographers for a number of years and Elgol is definitely one of our favourite locations!

Elgol is a small, spread out coastal village at the South of the Isle of Skye. Situated 14 miles south west of Broadford at the tip of the Strathaird peninsula, the village is reached by a dramatic road through the Red Cuillins and Strath Suardal with superb views passing the ruined Cill Chriosd and its fascinating and superbly located graveyard – and yes! There is a bus!

Our couples can take a boat from Elgol across Loch Scavaig to the entrance of Loch Coruisk (meaning ‘cauldron of water’) – a glacial loch nearly 2 miles long but only a couple of hundred yards wide, lying in the shadow of the highest peaks of the Black Cuillin. This was once voted the best view in Britain.

But if a boat ride is not your thing, then a marriage ceremony on the beach at Elgol will reward you with the most dramatic backdrop for your images – The Cuillin Mountain range.
