Giant Angus MacAskill Museum, Isle of Skye

I love these little local snapshots of history. This place is great, loads of information on the life Angus MacAskill whom I would have never have heard of without coming here. We rang the visitors bell a few times and nobody came but the sign says just to enter so we did. My daughter hates dummies so be warned, it's a big one!! There was a mountain bike near the door which seemed out of place until my son started flipping out because there was a photo of Danny MacAskill by it, who he recognised as he follows him on youtube so there's obviously a family connection there. Shame we didn't talk to anyone to get more info about that but I enjoyed reading the many info boards about Angus who seemed like a really lovely man

The museum is quirky and interesting. Peter, the owner, is very friendly and down-to-earth, and it was great to him about his life and his son Danny MacAskill, of whom my husband and I are fans. As an added bonus the bike Danny used in his film "Wee Day Out" is in the museum!

A gem we discovered enroute to Dunvegan Castle. It is small but packed with fascinating information about Giant Angus MacAskill as well as a warm welcome from the lady who runs it.

Interesting museum with very knowledgeable owner, who just happens to be the father of world-famous cyclist Danny MacAskill! One of his bikes is even inside!!
