Armadale is a village near the southern end of the Sleat Peninsula, on the Isle of Skye, Inverness-shire. Like most of Sleat, but unlike most of Skye, the area is fairly fertile, and though there are hills, most do not reach a great height. It looks out over the Sound of Sleat, to Morar and Mallaig.
Clan Donald has a visitor centre situated next to the ruins of Armadale Castle and surrounded by large gardens, while the nearby Sabhal Mòr Ostaig is a centre of Gaelic learning.
The village is also a small port, and has a regular Caledonian MacBrayne ferry service to Mallaig on the Inverness-shire mainland. It is at the southern end of the A851 road. When walking on the beach near the pier, it is possible to see otters and seals.
