Outstanding natural beauty

    Old Man of Storr

    This popular walk climbs up to the imposing pinnacle that is the Old Man of Storr. Brace yourself for jaw-dropping views! Avoid the crowds with a sunrise or sunset hike.

    Neist Point

    Staged dramatically on the cliffs at the most westerly point in Skye, Neist Point Lighthouse is one of the most picture-perfect sights on the island. Walk from the roadside right down to the lighthouse and keep an eye out for passing marine life in the sea below.

    CORAL BEACH

    These sandy shores are a wee hidden paradise on Skye, reached on a relatively short walk from Dunvegan. Take a picnic, slow down and soak up the coastal views.

Loch na h-Airde Viking Canal

Venture past the Fairy Pools and into Glen Brittle to reach one of Skye’s lesser-known gems, an ancient canal and shipyard built by the Vikings. This gem of an area is also home to an Iron Age fort and a chambered cairn from over 4000 years ago.

Ben Tianavaig

Visible from Portree and the surrounding area, Ben Tianavaig is one of Skye’s most popular walks. This 413m climb serves up some of the best and most rewarding views on the island.
