About Isle of Skye

Why Visit Isle of Skye, Scotland

Explore the fairytale-like sceneries of the Isle of Skye, one of the largest islands in all of Scotland! The jaw-droppingly beautiful nature is the main attraction in the area, and the primary activities include exploring it by any means possible, whether it's walking, cycling, climbing, or taking a boat trip.

Some highlights on the Isle of Skye itinerary include the Sligachan Old Bridge with the stunning backdrop of the Black Cuillin Mountains. Built back in the 19th century, the bridge creates a truly postcard-like image in its rural surroundings.

Another picturesque must-see in the area is the beautiful village of Portree, with its pastel-colored houses resembling a painting rather than a settlement. Established in the 19th century as a fishing village, the current capital of the island is located by a bay amid hilly terrain, making it a truly one-of-a-kind place to visit.

Portree is also one of the main cultural hubs on the island. Featuring a number of restaurants and cafes, as well as numerous events taking place each year, it is a great place to socialize and share your experiences after your Isle of Skye travel.

Some more places worth visiting during the Isle of Skye tour are the Fairy Pools of Glenbrittle, the Mealt Waterfall and Kilt Rock, as well as Staffin Beach, where you can actually see footprints of Ornithopod dinosaurs.
