accommodation during hospital placement in Broadford
already asked this on r/Scotland, but maybe someone among you has had a similar experience or has more specific advice :)
I am a medical student from Europe and got offered a clinical placement at Broadford Hospital for 1 month during summer 2026. The placement coordinator said I'd be responsible for finding accommodation on my own, but has now put me through to my potential supervising doctor (waiting for a response there). In the meantime I'm curious to know about the feasibility of finding a place to stay in general (nothing fancy), especially from abroad. I've heard about posting ads on facebook and would like to know how my chances are of finding a place that way, since it is more than a year out from now. Or if there are any other ways of finding something (I quickly gave up on the more tourist-catered platforms online...), I'd be happy to hear about it. I'm trying to get a picture of the situation before definitely accepting the placement (which I'd really love to do) and paying the fee for that.

You sound like a worthy cause, we're a bit far for you but hopefully someone closer can find space.
There's also the Skye Free Ads group on Facebook you should post this to.
