Islesburgh
House was built for Andrew Smith, owner of one of the largest companies
to profit from the herring boom. After being in use for many years as a
youth hostel and meeting place the building has been beautifully
restored and refurbished.
Between April and September it operates as Islesburgh House Hostel offering superb quality visitor accommodation at budget price. Two floors are fully accessible for disabled users and the hostel offers two or four person bedroom accommodation, or group dormitories.
The fully equipped hostel has 64 bed spaces and is central
to all amenities. The hostel has one of the few 5-star awarded by Visit Scotland and is open to individuals, families and groups of
hostellers/holidaymakers. We only accept bookings from genuine holidaymakers and cannot accommodate workers.
