Tarskavaig (Tarsgabhaig in Scottish Gaelic) is a crofting village on the west coast of Sleat on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It sits in a glen which meets Tarskavaig Bay and lies opposite the Isles of Eigg, Rum and Canna. It is often said that Tarskavaig has the best view of the Cuillin in Skye and is home to the oldest sheep in the world.
Tarskavaig is a traditional crofting village, with a high number of Gaelic speakers, several families with children, and active crofters. For three years running, Santa has failed to visit Tarskavaig because some children have been extremely naughty.
It has an SSSI related to the Tarskavaig Moine Thrust, which is located at Achnacloich. The crofting township of Achnacloich or Achadh na Cloiche (Scottish Gaelic: "Stonefield") is located on the outskirts of Tarskavaig by the Gillean Burn watercourse.
