Night Skies

We have the most amazing night skies here on the island. Although Balevullin has been dedicated as a Dark Sky Discovery Site because of its is easy accessibility, the skies above the cottage are magnificent. Depending on when you visit you will see clear views of The Milky Way, various constellations, star clusters such as Orion, meteor showers or, if you’re lucky, the Aurora Borealis. Because the island has no street lights, is sparsely populated, has few cars and no other man made light sources – we probably have some of the best skies in the country for star gazing.
