8 days in Isle of Skye Itinerary

Blessed with picturesque lochs and a dramatic, rocky coastline, the far-flung Isle of Skye remains one of Scotland's most beloved destinations.

Bring the kids along to The Quiraing and Cruise Loch Linnhe. Get out of town with these interesting Isle of Skye side-trips: Arisaig (Traigh Beach, Camusdarach Beach, &more), Eilean Donan Castle (in Kyle of Lochalsh) and Fort Augustus (Fort Augustus Abbey & Fort Augustus War Memorial). There's much more to do: admire the sheer force of The Fairy Pools, Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, experience rural life at The Oyster Shed, contemplate the waterfront views at Portree Harbour, and take in the dramatic natural features at Neist Point.
