Broadford (An t-Àth Leathann in Scottish Gaelic) is the second-largest town on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. With a co-op supermarket, twenty-four hour petrol station, a few restaurants, museum and a youth hostel, it is a key service centre for southern Skye. It also has a small airfield.
There is a song by the rock band Jethro Tull called "Broadford Bazaar" (on the remastered version of the Heavy Horses album) which is named after this town.
