A Tour Around Skye

A picture tour of the Isle of Skye offering a selection of scenery and attractions accessible to most visitors, with links to detours along the side roads and excursions on foot that leave the roads behind.

You can either follow the tour in sequence, or pick your own route.

Starting from Armadale, docking point for the ferry from Mallaig, the tour heads north through Sleat to Broadford. From Broadford we head west via Luib & Sconser to the Cuillins and Sligachan, then up through Portree to Trotternish and Staffin.

After rounding the northern of the Island and passing Duntulm we head south through Uig then west to Dunvegan, before turning east again around the shores of Loch Bracadale and up Glen Drynoch. This brings us back to Sligachan and then Broadford. Our finishing point is Kyleakin and the Skye Bridge.

Even without detours, driving this route (approx. 140miles) would occupy the best part of a day, or a whole day if you allow for a few photography stops and time to eat.

Taken at a leisurely pace, adding the odd detour or excursion and stopping at the museums, galleries and other attractions the route could easily form the basis for a longer stay on the Island.

Skye is bigger than many people imagine!

If your ready, let's begin.
