About Isle of Skye

Stretching fifty, glorious miles long, it is a world-class hiking destination, offering a dozen peaks, remarkable rock formations and mouth-watering views. Along these walks lie historical wonders like Dunvegan Castle, a third millennium BC chambered cairn and an Iron Age fort. The largest settlement, Portree, is the cultural hub, set upon a picturesque natural harbour lined by fishing boats, boasting cheerful pubs and an award-winning theatre. The Isle of Skye has ports on its north coast for routes from the Outer Hebrides, and on the southern tip for ferry crossings from mainland Scotland, so it’s within easy reach from many domestic locations.
