Top three reasons to go hiking on the Isle of Skye
-
Stepping foot on the Isle of Skye feels like entering a fantasy movie
-
The otherworldly landscapes whisper of mystery and magic
-
Come for the dramatic views, stay for the engrossing history
There is an island in the northernmost part of Scotland’s Inner Hebrides where fact and fiction seamlessly blend. The Isle of Skye’s outlandish spires, pinnacles, and mountains clad in clouds appear as though transported from a fantasy movie. Miles of scenic trails unfurl across verdant hills and valleys where fairies are said to dwell, and brilliant coastal walks brim with lush sea life. This utterly unique and striking location is the perfect setting for a walking tour you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Take your pick from all-stars like Quiraing, a majestic landslide where you’d expect to see hobbits on a quest, the staggering rock formations of MacLeod’s Maidens, or historic sites like the Trumpan Church, home to the 1578 clan war between the McLeods and MacDonalds.
