• Urquhart Castle - The journey to Skye begins with a visit to Urquhart Castle. These historic ruins are beautifully situated on the shores of Loch Ness. The guide will share fascinating tales about the castle’s history, as well as the folklore and legends surrounding the loch and the legendary Nessie, all from a stunning viewpoint above.
• Glenmoriston - The Glenmoriston Footprints are a lesser-known yet significant site in Highland history and legend! In 1827, Finlay Munro preached here, leaving two footprints where no grass has grown since!
• Glen Shiel - Midway to Skye, we will pause at Cluanie Inn, nestled in the heart of the mountains. This stop offers restroom facilities for your convenience, and you might even spot a few Highland Cows!
• Sligachan Old Bridge - This charming 200-year-old bridge spans the river Sligachan, surrounded by the majestic black and red Cuillin mountains. The waters beneath are said to be blessed by fairies! Dip your face in for 7 seconds, and you might gain eternal beauty! We’ll also take a brief walk to some hidden pools and waterfalls nearby.
• Portree - After a busy morning, we’ll stop in Portree for lunch and a short stroll! You’ll have about an hour to explore Skye’s capital before we head north for an afternoon of breathtaking sights!
• The Old Man of Storr - Post-lunch, our first stop is a photo opportunity at the Old Man of Storr. This iconic rock formation is rich in myths and legends. The guide will lead you to a perfect spot for photos and share stories of the giant who once roamed these lands.
• Kilt Rock - Kilt Rock is a stunning cliff where the layered stone resembles a tartan kilt. Meallt Falls cascades from the loch above, crashing into the sea below. On clear days, you can enjoy spectacular views all the way to mainland Scotland.
• Quiraing - Possibly the most breathtaking viewpoint in the world. The Quiraing’s otherworldly landscape never fails to amaze visitors. Even after countless visits, it still gives chills on a clear day! If clouds obscure the view, the guide will suggest an alternative spot. Skye is called the “Misty Isle” for a reason!
