LOCATION
Inverarish Terrace is situated approximately one mile from the ferry terminal and is also ideally located close to the Island’s general shop and post office. The Island of Raasay is an area of great natural beauty as well as being a safe and friendly community to live in. A new pier is presently under construction and the ferry service runs 7 days a week at very regular intervals making access to Sconser on the Isle of Skye very easy. The crossing from Raasay to Skye is just 20 minutes and from there the capital town of Skye, Portree, is just a short 13 miles drive away. Portree provides excellent local services and shopping facilities. Raasay has its own primary school and secondary schooling is available at Portree.
