The Untamed Beauty of Scotland Shines Through in the Isle of Skye. Definately one of the most beautiful locations to enjoy nature in all of Europe.

Tips, Advice & Information on Visiting the Isle of Skye, Scotland

1. Book Your Accommodation Early – The Island gets booked up quickly in the high season so you may need to stay off island in Plockton. I would recommend making your accommodation reservations six months in advance if you really want to stay on the Isle.

2. Rent a Car – To see all that the Isle of Skye has to offer you must have your own car.

3. Make Dinner Reservations – with so few restaurants and hordes of tourists in the high season it is a very good idea to make reservations for dinner or you may be eating out of tin cans.

4. Visit the Slate Peninsula – amazing vegetation

4. Visit Dunvegan Castle – very cool castle to visit and walk through the gardens.

5. Visit Portree the Capital of the Isle of Skye and Home to the ATM (Cashpoint).

6. Check Out the Waterfalls along the coasts.

7. Visit Kilt Rock – A sheer cliff that looks just like a kilt.

8. The Old Man of Storr – a very phallic looking stone rock.

9. Local Producers: Lots of Wool Weavers and Distilleries. You can weave with the weavers if you know how and the Distillery is run by the family from Monday through Saturday.

10. Hiking in the Cullen Hills. It may not have Edward and Bella in them, but they are amazing mountains/hills to hike through and fall in love with all the same.

11. Eileen Dolan Castle – From numerous movies and just outside the Isle of Skye.
