What to expect
-
Eilean Donan Castle
30 min
The famous views of this spectacular castle are easy to reach and well worth it. Bring your best camera. Yes, we can allow enough time to visit the castle but this will take away from time on Skye.
-
Skye Bridge

Sligachan

-
The Old Man of Storr
1 hour
We pass through Portree without stopping (don't worry we can stop there later) and onwards towards the Old Man of Storr.
This is a large rock pinnacle formed by erosion and the walk takes about 30 minutes to its base. You can admire it from the road or take the hike up the path to the weird and eroded landscape. -
Kilt Rock
25 min
Kilt Rock, or Creag an Fheilidh in Gaelic, is named after its basalt columns which look like the pleats of a kilt.
The spectacular falls are also here and you can look out to the isles of Rona, Rassay and Eilean an Tighe.
There is often a Highland piper in the carpark also. -

Another spectacular landscape towers above Staffin, the main settlement in the north of skye.
