Tarskavaig is the largest settlement on the western side of the Sleat Peninsula on Skye. Known as 'Tarscabhaig' in Scottish Gaelic, this crofting village rests in a glen which meets Tarskavaig looking out to Isles of Eigg, Rum and Canna. Tarskavaig is popular with tourists as it offers stunning views over to Strathaird and the Black Cuillin Hills.

Tarskavaig lies at the end of the southern road over Sleat from Ostaig and Kilbeg. From here it turns north, winds around the coast to Ord where it turns inland anc heads up the Ord River valley back over the peninsula to join the A851 again. On the way it passes the Tokavaig, Dunscaith Castle (Dun Sgathaich) and Torr Gauscavaig. At Ord you will find the ruins of St Comgan's Chapel, built in the 700's and Coille Togabhaig National Nature Reserve.
