Fantastic trip to an extraordinary archipelago. Felt very safe despite a reasonably rough journey there, and guide was really helpful and enthusiastic. Highly recommended

Brilliant trip. Boat ride not scary ( but took sea sick meds just in case!) Knowledgeable guide and lots of photo opportunities. Wonderful place to visit. Definitely recommend it.

We had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The lady at the front desk was really friendly, and Jules who spoke about the history and nearby islands was very kind and knowledgeable. The scenery is beautiful and you’re even offer a hot drink or juice on the journey back. For £35 this was more than worth the money! Tip- Make sure you bring midge spray as we definitely underestimated them😅

The best experience we had on Skye. Wonderful service, super friendly staff, knowledgeable crew. We took the four hour Canna trip and saw an incredible amount of wildlife and birds including a very rare breaching Minke whale, stunning. We had perfect weather, but book no matter when you are here. Not to be missed. Be careful and considerate on the difficult single track road in though.

Absolutely fantastic boat trip out from Elgol to Canna and Rum! I’ve never seen so many dolphins in my life in one go!! Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery and a very knowledgable and kind skipper/guide!! Would totally recommend to anyone!! Thank you Bella Jane for a memorable day out!

We had a wonderful experience with this boat trip to the Isle of Canna. It was magical, partly thanks to our captain Johnny, who is really nice, funny, and has a great eye for the birds and other marine animals ! Merci beaucoup pour cette superbe excursion qui nous a bien dépaysé de Montpellier ! 🤍

Wow!! Awesome trip into the magnificent black cullin, super friendly informative guide who’s happy to chat to you and point out all the magnificent sites and the beautiful harbour seals that bathe on the nearby rocks. You get 90 minutes to take a walk to loch Coruisk and explore the awe inspiring location. This trip is a definite for anyone visiting the beautiful Isle of Skye ❤️

What an experience. Terrible weather but the captain ensured the best in the given circumstances. Took a lot of convincing from the owners to us. Was worth the trip. Chilled wind and drizzle !! Had some good sightings of Porpoise and Puffins and Seals. Highly recommended for all

Great service provided by the lovely folks over at Bella Jane boat trips! The boat took us over to an island and provided us with a pickup time back (which included a hot beverage). On the journey we were given information on the area and it's wildlife. They even took some group pictures of us!

Our trip with Misty Isle Boat Trips was absolutely unforgettable! The owners and their family made the whole experience so special — warm, welcoming, and truly passionate about what they do. On the way back, they even let my son take a turn at steering the boat, which was such a magical moment for him and one he’ll never forget! What really stood out was not just the stunning scenery and wildlife, but the genuine kindness of this family-run business. They didn’t just run a tour — they shared their love for Skye, encouraging us to try local food and support other small businesses. That sense of community spirit was inspiring, and of course, we did — and the seafood was divine! If you’re visiting the Isle of Skye, don’t miss this boat trip. It’s more than just a trip — it’s a heartfelt experience run by truly amazing people.

No whales or dolphins on our trip but that didn’t matter! But the star of the show is the scenery - the Cullins are spectacular viewed from the sea, and the Loch is magical, so beautiful and serene it took our breath away. The father & son team running the boat were love, very entertaining and knowledgable & informative.

Highly recommend booking a Standard (3 hour) trip through Misty Isle Boat Trips. Duncan, our captain, pointed out seals and other interesting factual tidbits along the journey. He even brought along snacks and hot chocolate/tea/coffee for the ride back. 90 minutes on-shore at Loch Coruisk was plenty of time to explore the beautiful scenery!

We were all blown away with this amazing boat trip! Seamus and Alastair went out of their way to ensure that the experience was everything and more! This trip was an experience of a lifetime and without a doubt the best thing we did on our visit to Skye! Don’t miss out - book it now!! Thank you guys!

What a beautiful experience with the lovely family business! We came spontaneously today to Misty Isle Boat Trips and they managed to book us on the next boat at 11 o clock - otherwise I would recommend booking in advance. Our Skipper Sandy and his son Shaun were a great crew and blessed us with an amazing experience. They had great tales to tell about their ancestors and the surrounding areas while we were on the boat. We got to see some wildlife (namely seals, red deer, and various (sea)bird species) - unfortunately no Puffins (I think that’s another time of the day), but apparently you can be lucky and see some whales, dolphins, or sharks as well. We had 90 minutes on shore (we booked the standard 3h tour) where it was really beautiful and calm. Afterwards they offered us tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and some shortbread and we headed back to Elgol. All in all I would highly recommend booking a trip with this nice family business!

We had a fantastic experience in on this cruise. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and works hard to give you a quality experience. We saw several animals on our tour and had a great time at the Loch. Bonus points for supporting a family business with local roots to this area of Skye!

Misty Isle gave us a superb experience. The people were friendly and informative (and funny) and went out of their way to enable us to make the most of the dolphins, whales and seals which we saw. Highly recommended!! Kate, Jon and Katy.

Currently for sale and though I may only be a 17 year old girl from Australia this is my new dream home and I will be enlisting my future husband to purchase it for me :) absolutely gorgeous and so isolated, just my thing!

Yes, sadly is a little run down but the caretaker does an excellent job on the little guided tour. An example of the bottomless pit of extravagance produced by the industrial era of GB although not always in great taste. Interesting architectural design especially the turret staircase and butler's servery off the dining room. Would have been spectacular in it's prime. Worth a visit on the Calmac 3 isle circuit.

Castle is exceptional, tour guide is also very friendly and informative. The history inside the castle and the artefacts inside are one of a kind. The orchestrian, Steinway Piano, Lion pelt and numerous and enormous stag heads await your arrival in the main hall itself. The halls and the many rooms inside are filled with incredible objects worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. The building itself is made from red Arran sandstone, and is very porous which means the castle will not survive forever in-fact is showing signs of dampness already. A true one of a kind place and is a situated in a fantastic community with unbeatable views.

A quirky castle on the Isle of Rum, and efforts are underway to restore it. If you take a tour inside or even peek into the windows you'll see a lot of eclectic decorations and ornaments. Very interesting!

Untouched History. Ross was an amazing guide and provided info that you will not find in the history books!

Extraordinary place on a barely populated island. Had a great tour with the local guide who told us about lots of great local historic lore. Interesting stories, great insights in how the owners used to live there. The place is a bit worn down, due to the lack of funds. Hope they get the money to restore it to it's former glory, the castle deserves it.

Fascinating place with very interesting history. In need of expensive repair. Frozen in time!

Take the Misty Isles boat trip, either the 2, 3, or 6 hour trip, and you will be transported to a remote loch that seems untouched by civilization. Ruggedly beautiful, and worth as much time exploring as you have. Oh, and the crew of the Misty Isles ships know the history of the land, people a culture--and are happy to share.

Immense mountains surrounding a serene Loch. The only way I could access this place at my age, (duff knees, wonky hip) was by taking a boat trip from Elgol, highly recommended. Seals to view, cormorants but the puffins had left. (Late July. ). Excellent information from the crew. Book early.

Very beautiful. There's a short walk that's suitable for kids. There a munch longer walk to one of the peaks with incredible views but takes a few hours for a fit adult that's a bit more challenging.

Amazing place! Make sure to take a boat (we took Misty Isle boat Trips and everything went perfect) from Elgol straight to Loch Coruisk. You won't regret it. Our only regret is that we took the trip with only 1,5 hours ashore instead of the one with 4,5 hours ashore. So much to see and enjoy!

Camped the SE end after coming from the "bad step" to then go over cuillin to fairy pools. The whole area is just breath taking. While hiking we see plenty of deer in the area and it was just amazing.

Beautiful and peaceful lake with stunning views of the Cuillin hills as the backdrop. After a brisk 10mins walk from the pier whilst following up the river, it opens to a breathtaking landscape which you almost have to yourself (and the rest of the tour group). As we have only 1.5hr before the ferry departs, we could only hike to the other end of the lake. If you have more time, I can imagine you can hike further towards the Cuillins. The total boat tour (Misty Isle) departing from Elgol takes 3hr. Highly recommended. Book in advance as we saw some last minute turn-ups being turned away.

We took a boat trip from Elgol to reach this incredible lake and it was totally worth it, amazing atmosphere and views

This is a long walk from the car park. This would not be a good area for anyone with assisted walking devices. The path to the pools are long in distance. There is a steep hill to walk down and then back up. I saw older people having to stop and rest. I am 64 and didn’t have any issues. I am in good health and not overweight. I am not sure if I would recommend this stop to tourist. If you have seen waterfalls before then this is underwhelming. The land around is not as pretty as other areas. I did see people wearing bug netting over their heads. I found that this was not needed when we were there in the middle of August. When we were there the rest rooms were closed but it was after 5:00.

Stopped here while doing the NC 500 route. This place isnt on the route but 110% needs to be. Plenty of parking at the start charges £8 for cars, £10 for campers. There are toilets as well. The awesome walk can take about an hr to the top and is well worth the walk. The water is crystal clear, air so very refreshing and the views are amazing. 100% recommend this stop.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Magical Experience at the Fairy Pools – Best in Late October 🍂✨ Visiting the Fairy Pools in Scotland feels like stepping straight into a fantasy world. I went in the last week of October, and I honestly think this is one of the best times of year to visit. The day I visited was mostly blue skies during the walk—which made the water glisten in those famous turquoise tones—but toward the end the clouds rolled in and it started raining. And somehow, that shift made the experience even more magical. A rainbow stretched across the valley, creating a scene that felt like pure Highland enchantment. This time of year strikes the perfect balance: there's enough water flowing over the rocks and falls to give the pools their mythical look, something you may not get at the height of summer. Yet it’s still before the heavy winter stretch, when November to January can bring too much rain, snow, and low cloud, making the walk tougher and visibility limited. In late autumn, the mountains are draped in warm golden-brown tones, the air is crisp, and the light—when it breaks through—feels like something out of a movie. Even when the weather shifts, the beauty only evolves. Just bring good waterproof shoes and a jacket, take your time, and enjoy the drama of Scotland’s ever-changing sky. When the sun hits the water, you’ll understand why they’re called the Fairy Pools—and if you're as lucky as I was, the rainbow might just seal the magic. 🧚‍♂️💙🌿🌈 Tip: Don’t be afraid of mixed weather—here, it doesn’t ruin the experience… it enhances it.

Fairy Pools is a relatively easy nature walk with many water features like streams, waterfalls and pools on the Isle of Skye. The map always shows the road as "closed" but it's apparently always open and that's incorrect. It's easy enough to get to and once there, parking is simple since the lots are big but also costs £8. Once you cross the road out of the lot, you go down the hill and then up one into the mountains. On sunny days, it's fantastic and totally worth the trip. Even when it's raining, it's kind of cool, but you just need to make sure you're ok with potentially getting wet. Overall a solid place to go for a hike and see commaome cool stuff.

These pools are worth coming to for their beauty, folklore and for a wild swim. It was our first stop once on Skye and we were delighted with the sight of the pools, waterfalls and our wild swim, as we came on a beautiful day. The water was clear and clean. I know my brother and myself both felt at least 20 years younger following our swim. Old men must be kids, so bring your swimsuit! However, I must give you my words of caution, and that is to pack your patience as the pools are hit hard by tourists, and the single track road into the site does not handle the traffic volume midday during the shoulder season. I cannot imagine how bad the traffic is during the summer months. The pools are found at the foot of the Black Cuillin mountains, and can be reached by hiking a 2.4 km gravel path from the car park. Parking will cost £8 for the day, which you probably don’t need, but that is what you end up paying. There are public bathrooms at the car park. Just remember that your patience will be required when you drive out from the pools too.

One of our favorite hikes that we’ve ever done. A beautiful place! It looked magical with the fog. Although not technically difficult, the elevation change makes this more strenuous of a hike. Parking here can be terrible - make sure to come early!

I know the Trotternish Loop and Old Man of Storr etc get most of the attention on Isle of Skye, but the southern parts of the island are just as spectacular and worth an extra day to explore. We decided to head south before we even hit Portree, taking the one-lane road out to the Fairy Pools and following the west side up toward Dunvegan, and eventually our destination in Uig. As the pools was our first stop on the island, we were so happy to see plenty of parking (though it was crowded in July), with easy access to the trail head for the descent into the valley and eventual rise following the pools. The valley was full of wonderful photo spots, small creek views, and lower falls, along with the chocolate colored water (my son called root beer) and the hills in the background. The trail itself was easy enough, but there were plenty of options to explore, including in the river itself. We saw people cliff jumping, swimming, and wading, and we even followed in one area to scale the side of a waterfall simply by scrambling up the side of it! Eventually there were some wonderful areas with wider shallows for us to remove our shoes and wade into the clean cool water. It's hard to express the beauty in words, but the place was pretty unbelievable - I guess "fairy pools" is the best description, something familiar, but feels a bit surreal and fantastical when you're there.

A beautiful little city with a lot of good vibes. The biggest city of Isle of Skye and it’s situated exactly at the centre of the island. A must stop if you want to have fresh fish food and you wanna get a little rest from all the hours of driving.

Portree is beautiful and we had amazing weather this day. The view is very nice and there are plenty of great restaurants around.

Beautiful Marina Portree Harbour is a really nice little Marina, it is very popular so in summer can get quite crowded. We suggest you come early if you want to avoid a bit the tourist influx. It has a few fish and chips shops which are really good, and you can walk along the marina.

I'm a bit torn about this one. I'd give 3.5 stars. Portree is indeed a pretty little town. Some fun shops, some good food and nice views. Also a nice little viewpoint on top where you can get a good shot of the colourful Portree Harbour. But down at the harbour itself the views aren't that great - except for the views of the ocean and the surrounding countryside, which are very nice. But the harbour area is small, there's a handful restaurants and BnBs. But really nothing much to do. There are some boat tours starting from here. To get the famous pics of Portree Harbour though you need to be on top looking down. It's really ok and surely a must-do when in town or when visiting first time. But besides a very short walk and some pics there's not really anything else about it. And if it wouldn't be for the colourful buildings it would be just be a very average, quite small harbour. And there are plenty of nice little harbours across the UK. We enjoyed it, it was worth our time - but next time we'll skip it.

Beautiful harbour for a walk around. It's very photogenic with some beautiful local walks with wild rabbits, which we both loved. I've been a few times and it's always extremely busy but easy to navigate and can get the citylink bus from Glasgow/Inverness etc to portree square before other surrounding areas such as Broadford or uig etc. Stagecoach also runs here. Most taxi companies do tours of their own as well as tour companies but highly recommend to book in advance both accommodation and attractions. The locals and the pubs were great with live music in the royal bank house with different music and different families with different musical instruments each night. Getting everyone up to dance was a really fun night. If your up to walk old man of storr, the quiraing etc this I'd recommend as the best place to book accommodation as if you don't drive the bus takes you directly to old man of storr in 15 mins. There's 2 buses that go to the quiraing and one is the long route the other the short also staffa beach just along from the quiraing known as jurassic beach for its preserved dinosaur footprints. Always check tidetimes before venturing out. Stagecoach doesn't run on Sundays, but citylink still does. Skye is beautiful. There is something to see and do in every part and is a photographers dream. Visit at least once.

Portree is the charming capital of the Isle of Skye, a colourful harbour town nestled within a rugged Highland landscape. It’s a delightful base for exploring Skye and soaking in the island’s culture, cuisine, and scenery.

I feel like the place is great but no THAT great. Everyone kept talking about Portree but personally I think it's a bit overrated

Clean, warm and welcoming shop. Lots of interesting nik nacks to suit all budgets, friendly staff and good WiFi speeds available. Lots of tourist information available and genuinely enthusiastic and helpful people working there who are happy to assist in a positive and friendly manner. Worth dropping in to look for tours, accommodation, activities, boats & ferries, rentals etc.

I went to the tourist information centre because on the apps it showed every room in Portree was taken. I was feeling quite desperate as I had been driving for hours and just wanted a cosy place to stay for the night. Stephen (I hope I got the name right) was very friendly and proactive, and immediately put me at ease and started making phone calls. In the end, he found me a lovely place to stay. Great hospitality and amazing customer service. Thanks Stephen!

We were wildcamping as a group on Skye and were struggling to find spaces to set up camp that aligned with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, so we went to the Visitor Center to ask. The staff was kind, accommodating and so helpful! We talked to a lovley lady who helped us find a beautiful spot and even printed out directions for us. All free of charge!

Nothing that helped (like a map) that you didn't have to purchase. No restroom (public toilet)

Saved the day for me and a group of people who were left stranded when a tour company never showed up and couldn't be reached (over an hour we waited). The staff at the tour centre went above and beyond to get us booked on another option calling so many people. Called a retired tour guide who still had his bus and he agreed to come and help us poor souls. Eventually they heard back from the original tour about an apparent technical issue and also assured us we would get a refund truly kind and helpful lot.

Price change by the lady in the shop when choosing a print. They lost out £150.00 sale. Disgusted to think they thought we wouldn't notice.

Great for information, maps, etc. Staffed by people who know! Some gifts, etc.

Went to the pub one night and got breakfast the next morning. Their haggis was spectacular. I never had it before that breakfast, but now I’m hooked. I tried some store-bought, and, while still good, the Inn’s just really is on another level. Friendly atmosphere, filled with locals, welcoming to all, great cider, great dessert (kid couldn’t drink cider, and the hot chocolate machine was broken, so I offered…). But, my memories of this place will be more about the people I chatted with, who were truly welcoming of us tourists.

“Probably the best pub in Carbost” 😁 Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. We arrived midday and enjoyed a nice lunch. It was the best fish and chips we’ve had on our Scottish road trip. We were very lucky with weather so we could enjoy a fantastic view from the terrace while we had our lunch. We explored the area then came back to check in. Room was tidy, bedding clean, with 4 beds. Doors are a bit loud and can’t be locked as they are actually fire doors. Towels can be rented for £1. Plenty of shower rooms and toilets on the floor. Atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

I had a burger here, which was pretty good, though a bit on the expensive side. The beer was great, and overall it’s just nice to have somewhere to eat nearby, especially since there aren’t many options close to the Talisker Distillery. A cozy spot with good food and drinks — definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

I stayed in the bunkbed dorms. The location right on the water is fantastic. The pub food and drink is good with plenty of local liquor options, they also had live traditional music one of the two nights. There were plenty of toilets and showers across the hall from the bunk rooms, and water pressure and temp was good. I didn't use the kitchen other than the mini fridge - there was a fridge per room. I would definitely stay again!

I dont usually write reviews for anything but the food here was so good I had to. The haddock and prawn chowder was fantastic and the desert was amazing. The environment was also exactly what we were looking for. We didn't stay in one of the rooms so I can't speak on that but the restaurant was perfect.

One of the best dining experiences we've had at a pub. Food was delicious and had a good range of specials to choose from. The regular menu is quite small but what is on there is very tasty. The staff were all very friendly and we could tell the cooks were very passionate about their food. The barman/ waiter we were served by was very friendly and made our meal very memorable. We'll be back!

Stayed nearby and ate at the pub. So good we went back again! Very charming setting, super friendly and attentive staff, and the amazing food was well prepared and presented. The menu is varied to accommodate various preferences. The chowder was incredible, the fish and chips had the most generous portion of breaded haddock I’ve ever seen, and the drinks were delicious. Side note: if you can visit when they host live traditional music, do not miss it. It gets crowded, and for good reason.

The Oyster Shed on the Isle of Skye is a delightful gem. During our week-long trip, we were eager to experience this charming eatery, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from an oyster shed—rustic, very casual, and perfectly suited to its coastal setting. Ordering was straightforward, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The oysters themselves were outstanding; I’ve sampled oysters from some of the finest establishments, and I can confidently say that these rank among the best. It’s puzzling to read some negative reviews, as our experience was nothing short of excellent. We also indulged in the mussels, shrimp, and fries, all of which were generous portions and excellent value for money. The freshness of the seafood was evident. If you’re on Skye, a visit to The Oyster Shed is definitely worth it—don’t miss out on this fantastic unique Skye experience!

Got here around 12~ which was a great time to come because by 12:30 it was packed and there were lines out the door! There's a little sitting area that is beautiful but it's mostly takeaway style. Fresh seafood and a great great feed. Highly recommend if you're on the Isle to visit, it was so worth it. We got Oysters, baked oysters and softshell crab which were fantastic, they do whole lobsters for £20 as well! Parking is limited and its a small area so go early!

I had a few oysters and they were shucked in front of me, a wedge of lemon cut and offered to add sauces for me. They were the largest oysters I’ve seen and absolutely delicious! I also ordered a bottle of water and the guys were lovely. The soft crab wasn’t very nice (it was mostly oily batter) and I didn’t like the shoestring chips, preferring normal sized fries - so I gave the food a 3. 5 stars for the oysters though, but a 1 for the crab and chips. I ended up throwing them away.. I had no problem parking today as there were only a few of us. They provided utensils, serviettes, wet wipes and sauces for your meal in the dining shed and the view was lovely.

Really cute place. Mixed reviews from my group for the food. We missed any fresh shucked oysters which I’m sure are great. Half my group got the scampi which they really enjoyed. Half of my group got cooked oysters and did not enjoy them at all. If you want hot sauce, you need to buy a whole bottle. I liked their onion rings though. The parking lot is a little small so keep that in mind if you’re going during busy season.

This place cannot be rated high enough. Fantastic rustic setting. The food is great, with special mention of what must be the freshest oysters out there. Portions are great and prices are reasonable.

Heard and read some good things about this spot. So this time around on Skye we made sure to grab some lunch here. The last 200m or so is a steeper one-lane road, but not problems here if you just look ahead a bit. The parking lot by the Oyster Shed has limited spaces. Again here...just don't rush - bring some time to either wait for a spot or to park further down and walk up. We got lucky and got a spot. Two RVs parked here too. Almost couldn't get in and out and did hold everybody up - so I wouldn't recommend bringing your RV up here. Inside you order by tablet. It's quite a big space inside the shop. Once you got your food (outside) you can sit down right in front or head around the corner to the big table with some views. We were happy to sit out front though. Ordered two kinds of cooked topped oysters (salmon/seaweed and spicy seaweed chutney), crab legs, a softshell crab and half-a-dozen of regular oysters. The fresh raw oysters were nice and of good quality. The cooked oysters were decent, maybe easier for oyster-beginners since the toppings cover the sea/oyster flavour. The softshell crab was really tasty - but also a bit pricey for our served size. The best item were the crab legs cluster. A good load of legs for little money. Very tasty! All in all a good place to enjoy some seafood. Some items were great, others also very good - but not great. If we come back it would be for the Crab legs...

We wanted to eat here after seeing it on a YouTube video and we arrived around 2 pm We ordered lobster, prawns, oysters and onion rings. They were out of scallops and some of the drinks we wanted too. The food is cooked in the food truck and there are picnic tables to eat on under an enclosure. They were out of many utensils and only had wooden spoons. There was no hand soap and paper towels at the sink within the enclosure. There are no public bathrooms and their parking lot is small. We probably wouldn’t eat here again.

Ian was a great tour guide. He explained everything and answered all questions. It was very impressive to see the process and also to hear about the sustainable actions for the island. I do recommend the tour. Even if you don't drink - or if you have to drive they provide little bottles to take with you.

Nice distillery. We didn’t do the tour, just stopped by for a tasting. We were surprised at how expensive the whisky was compared to the same bottles sold in grocery stores and duty-free shops. I would have expected better deals on-site, or at least prices matching retail for the same products.

🏴 The oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye! 🥃 If you love whisky, this place is an absolute must-visit. 👨‍🏫 The tour guide was knowledgeable and gave a clear, detailed introduction to the whisky-making process, from start to finish. ✨ The atmosphere was authentic and full of history, making the whole experience very special. 🤔 Personally, since I don’t know much about whisky, I couldn’t fully appreciate all the details — but for whisky enthusiasts, it would be a real highlight of the trip!

Talisker was such an amazing visit. We did the tasting tour, and it was so great to see the difference in 3 different whiskies we tried in the tasting. We also tried one of their cocktails, which was phenomenal. Such a great visit, I would also recommend going to their restaurant Three Chimneys at Talisker, the seafood was delicious.

Fabulous setting and good parking, although good to have a designated driver. We did the 1 hour tour and it was ok, but the guide (mark) although friendly was not particularly knowledgeable. Did a tasting of 3 whisky which were good. The bar area is mainly bar stools and there is a shop with other whiskeys available. Need to book in advance.

The tour was done well and we liked it The distillery was well laid out like a giant lab for making whiskey and the tour guide was well informed and made funny jokes every now and then. The process of malting drying and fermentation was informative and final process was interesting with large casks of bubbly with fermenting alcohol as we peered thru the glass covers!!!! The tasting was fun and the we were allowed to take what we couldn't finish in little bottles provided for that purpose!

Tour of this famous distillery was one of the hallmarks of my visit on the Isle of Skye. It's a very pretty place with a great visitors centre. Tour guide Grant was definitely one of the best tour guides I've ever had a pleasure of meeting. All of the staff is really friendly. Great experience - I wholeheartedly recommend it, regardless if you're a whisky enthusiast or not. If you're not, you'll probably become one after visiting Talisker ;)

One of the most beautiful hikes you can do. A must do on Skye. Not the easiest hike, and stairs are a plenty. Doable in running shoes, but hiking shoes are a good idea. Be warned that parking can be difficult if you show up later in the day - arrive early! Bathroom facilities available on site, but they were not good.

I recently did this hike with my dad and absolutely loved it, even though it was quite challenging. The trail is mostly an uphill climb with lots of steps, and it took us around 3 hours return with plenty of photo stops and breaks. It’s tough in places, but very doable if you pace yourself and rest when you need to. There are different routes you can take to reach the main viewpoint, from about halfway up, with some easier and some more difficult options. We went right around the back and did a little rock scrambling, which made it extra challenging but really fun. :) The views at the top were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. We started in cloudy, misty weather and weren’t sure we’d see anything, but by the time we got up there it had cleared into a perfect day - absolutely breathtaking scenery. Practical stuff: there’s a small coffee shop and toilets at the bottom (but the toilets close around 5pm). Parking fills up quickly, though we found a spot just across the road at a similar price to the main car park. The path isn’t really accessible for wheelchairs, but there are still nice views from the base. Bring plenty of water, insect repellent, snacks, and sunscreen, as there’s no shade along the way. Sturdy shoes are a must - the steps and rocks can be slippery when wet. Overall, a tough but rewarding hike that I’d highly recommend to anyone keen for a challenge with unforgettable views! :) :)

Beautiful place. Pretty scalable hike, when the indicated path isn't enough there is a path that runs further up to the actual summit and it gives you a beautiful sight over the atlantic and rugged skye cliffs. Prepare to get absolutely soaked during the end-of-year period though.

Came right after the storm Amy attacked the isle. We went through a beautiful dramatic highland scene. Constant strong wind, sleet, cold rain…The sun even showed up a few times in the afternoon. Every thing is perfect.

A must-see place on Skye! Great visitor centre with lovely staff. An accessible walk for non-hikers, but sturdy shoes are needed. There are lots of stone steps near the top, which are slippery when wet

Great hike but be warned; the carpark will be overflowing by 10 am and there could be quite a stream of tourists on the trails. Whether you take the blue or yellow trail the ascent and descent will take a couple of hours and be sure you have decent walking shoes. The views are spectacular and there are hiking circuits at the top if you have the time. It will be difficult to get the "classic" shots of the Storr in peak tourist time because of the number of people on the trails. But if my mid sixties legs can do it - so can you!

The most beautiful hike I've ever done. Not a very challenging hike but the views are breathtaking.

Amazing place but quite remote. Stunning beach with fantastic Talisker waterfall. You can get here by car to the roadside car park near the old house on the farm, then 20 minutes easy walk to get to the beach.

The drive to this beach is so scenic. You have to park and walk around 1 mile to the shore thru the farm. You will see peacocks on the farm, and sheep all the way. It is a pretty easy walk with scenic views all the way. Worth it!

Lovely beach to head over to, quieter than many other beaches and areas on the isle. There is a bit of a walk to get to the beach down a track, but nothing too difficult or long unless your looking to get anything reliant on wheels there due to stones leading down to the beach on the last bit. Parking is down the side of the road.

Limited parking but the beach is so remote that there will be space. How far you have to walk to the beach depends on where you can get parked but it is an easy walk to the beach. It is a real shame the beach isn't more accessible but the remoteness and lack of visitors is definitely part of the charm. If you're visiting Skye you have to visit this beach.

Lovely walk to the beach .Not much parking and road to beach very tight .Don't take big campers down that road

Absolutely beautiful beach with stunning views, the beach is difficult to get into due to a lot of large slippy rocks so try avoid when raining.... If it even stops.

Absolutely beautiful unfortunately quite a lot of plastic washed up throughout the beach and a pile of collected plastic near the gate from the path.

This small waterfall is a delightful spot that offers a peaceful retreat into nature. While modest in size, the gentle cascade and the surrounding greenery create a calming atmosphere that’s perfect for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle. It’s an ideal place to pause, enjoy the soothing sound of flowing water, and maybe snap a few lovely photos. Easily accessible and not crowded, it’s a hidden little treasure for nature lovers and anyone looking for a quiet moment outdoors. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re nearby!

Great place & stunning viewpoints This is a great place to stop and see the views from. It is a bit hard to see the falls in summer when the level of water is low. Other than that, it is a fantastic place, highly recommended!

The Kilt Rock and the waterfall in front of it look absolutely amazing — definitely worth a quick stop for some great photos and the stunning view! However, the parking situation is a bit ridiculous. You only stay for about 10 minutes to see everything, yet they still expect you to buy a parking ticket. Honestly, nobody there was doing it — and there were quite a few visitors around. Beautiful spot, but the parking fee idea is laughable. Still, a must-see viewpoint!

Give yourself a few minutes to stop at this terrific Viewpoint. It has a wonderful view of the waterfall and the ocean, as well as space to wander around the local landscape.

Decent carpark, easy to access and park with plenty of available spaces. £3 for 3 hours which is more than enough. No toilets or amenities but wow, what a beautiful waterfall

Ticked off my bucket list! Kilt Rock is one of Scotland’s iconic landmarks, and it’s definitely a must-see on the Isle of Skye.

A must see viewpoint. We stopped by when it was very rainy so only had a quick look. Did not pay for the parking as we only stayed for a few minutes.

Any chance that I get to explore a shore is worth my time. And when you do, be sure to wear good footwear and to be cautious if it is wet and where you walk. There is seaweed, after all. Anyone would love to be the first to observe the footprint of dinosaurs, but getting a chance to find a few of the 10 or so embedded in the rock is quite exciting. Just be patient. Consult the pictures shared on Google Maps. And don't be afraid to ask others to guide you, if you think that they have found some. It's exciting. When there has been rain, they are a little easier to identify. Some of the big rocks have shell inclusions. A family drew their own dinosaurs prints in the sand...

Parking is good but limited. Worth going at low tide. As soon as you go down the ramp from the car park, turn right towards the rocks. Look at the flat rock areas. There is a clear foot print close to the ramp (maybe within 10m). The other footprints are less defined, often covered by seaweed or sand.

A favorite site not only for fans of the genre and geologists. A place where you can actually see dinosaur footprints. When we arrived, we saw hikers looking and not finding any. But once you pay attention, you see lots of footprints in what was the Jurassic mud. Highly recommended. The road reaches right above the seashore.

Beautiful. Footprints were pretty cool to see- thinking about the size of "animal" that walked there millions of years ago. Just wild. Some great pics at the shoreline. Just off the main road and good parking selections.

This was SO freaking cool! We found several footprints and the fishing camp island across was interesting to learn about. The beach was clean with plenty of space to enjoy.

This was a fantastic site to see. The dinosaur footprint is still very visually distinctive. Found the footprint fairly easily, down towards the right of the rocks. There is not much parking at the beach.

It was really fun to explore for the footprints, which I think we found a couple. The views are breathtaking, my children, who are now adults would have loved to have experienced this.

This was a challenging walk regarding the skye trail, but the view was worth every step.

Incredibly gorgeous, secluded and magnificent terrain, several access points to choose from, quintessential Skye scenery. Bring weatherproof gear and keep your fingers crossed that you won’t need it.

Amazing place:) love it 😀 😍

Absolutely breathtaking scenery, plenty of routes to choose from depending on how difficult a hike you want to take. Quiet a lot of people around the car park area taking photos of the views, but once you start heading up it very quickly becomes tranquil.

Offers many breathtaking views. A revelation for each photographer. One of the best hiking area on Skye. Between Quiraing and Old Man of Store you will find many lonely trails. On each season well worth a visit. Best times from sunrise to early afternoon.

Stunning views, absolutely gorgeous.

It's great walk.

The Fairy Glen became quite popular the past few years. Social Media playing a part....but without I might have not know about it as well. We actually didn't expect much, but were surprised by this small, but oh so charming area. All the famous spots are only about a 10-15min walk away from the main parking lot. Even some visitors seemed out of breath and calling it a hike (!), it's actually just a short walk with a quick steep section that doesn't take a trained person to climb. It's really easy. Even though I would at least recommend sneakers, not sandals or so. And of course it's a near impossible task for strollers, wheelchairs and visitors with walking disabilities. The "Castle" Ewen is visible from far away. But it's not an actual castle, but a rock formation. Named for its looks, because it really resembles some tower ruins. Arriving on top you will meet the first stone circle and then a large natural platform with wonderful views of the Glen Conon. It was a foggy and cloudy day. But that in my opinion just added to the magical atmosphere. Even though there aren't Fairy at work here. The stones in the circles are place by visitors and this isn't appreciated for many (good) reasons by the locals. And they do remove them from time to time...but they get being put back all the time. If you go back the way you came up (the first path up) you will miss the second and bigger circle. Take the further path down to come across it. There were visitors, but not as many as we thought. And the green glen, the views and all the little sights (including a good number of sheep) were far more impressive than we hoped for. It is indeed an amazing, pretty and magical spot here on Skye. It's a nice little walk. Even our English Bulldog managed fine - walking both ways - up and back down.

Fantastic spot to visit. Plan a couple of hours to soak in the various views along the hike. Climb to the fallen castle top or walk the easy path along the mounds and enjoy the quaint ruins and small forest. We went in mid October.

A beautiful and magical place. A must stop. The road to get there is both ways but only one straight road. There’s some passing places. We went with our motorhome, and it was no problem. The parking has a fixed hour/pay, it was 3£ for 4h.

We took epic photos of my husband and me, thanks to the incredible wind on top of the Fairy Glen! I’ve never experienced gusts like that before haha. It was an easy walk with a unique landscape. Such a beautiful place!

The rock circles are much smaller than they seem, but don’t let that detract you from visiting. The place is beautiful and the walk is very easy. One of our more enjoyable walks on the Isle of Skye. Paid parking available, but not unreasonably priced.

Enchanting from the first glance. The hills curve like they’ve been folded by hand, soft and deliberate, with a serenity that feels older than memory. Due to time constraints, we didn’t have time to walk fully into the glen, but even the short walk felt like stepping into a magical landscape. It was strangely calming to see the sheep resting and grazing languidly. There’s a rocky formation known as "Castle Ewen" that I spied from afar. It stands apart — striking, solid and still. Even with such a brief visit, the place stayed with me, leaving an imprint with its gentle contours and surreal beauty.

Fairly easy hike from the designated car park. View were fantastic but the hike to the top can be very dangerous and slippery if it’s raining (which is our case during our visit).

The hike to the breathtaking viewpoint at the top takes about 40 minutes. The first part of the trail is fairly steep and nothing special. Soon it levels out as you cross into grassland. It’s a bit of a climb but nothing too challenging. From the eastern edge of the grassland the views begin — and what views they are. Lucky with the beautiful and very sunny weather and the panorama was absolutely stunning. Wherever you look: nature, rocks, mountains, clouds, sea. What a magnificent farewell to the Highlands 2025 — it truly doesn’t get any better than this. An absolute must-see. Photos don’t capture the height, depth and vastness you experience up there. A truly stunning spot on the Isle of Skye.

Amazing hike. We went all the way around. Also went up to the needle off the trail. Not many people climb up there & for hrs we walked around & had the spot to ourselves.

Amazing hike! Incredible scenery and dramatic cliffs. Nice views of the island below. Proper shoes/boots necessary. Can be quite muddy and portions of the trail could be treacherous when wet. Recommend hiking poles if you have them. We did the counter clockwise circuit and enjoyed our choice-legs get a chance to warm up before hitting the heavy elevation. Single track road to get there, and parking fills up quickly. Was a nightmare getting out after our hike. Fabulous views and a highlight of Skye.

Incredible hike in an otherworldly green and lush landscape with dramatic pointy rocks. Lots of sheep coming close and spectacular views of the valley. Make sure to wear sturdy watertight footwear (the top part of the path is really muddy) and bring bug spray. There is a lot of midgets on parts of the lower path.

Beautiful hike on the Isle of Skye. Don't worry about rain or fog. It usually comes and goes pretty quickly. Just make sure you are dressed properly

An absolute must see, if you go to the isle of skye. The views are phenomenal and you are in pure nature just surrounded by sheep. Rather skip other attractions including the stor, but dont miss out your stop here.

Wow what a walk. The views are magnificent. I did the walk with my dog and we both loved it. Well signposted from the car park. We followed the trail left and went down then up. You can do either way, however I would recommend going left first as you start to get amazing views and stunning rock formations straight away, then come back over the top. The carpark can get full try to get there early. Wear good footwear , some of the trails get quite boggy. Enjoy.

A nice castle and grounds. Lovely waterfalls, flowers and scenery. The castle itself was nice but I've been to better. All the staff were friendly and provided some extra information when asked. Also saw a couple of seals not far from the castle walls. A short video at the end of the tour also gives some history to the castle, told by the current owner. Not suitable for those using wheelchairs as a lot of the paths in the gardens were either quite narrow or very bumpy. Inside the castle, it being from the middle ages, had a lot of stairs and no lift (pretty sure this would be mentioned on the official website). There is, of course, a gift shop, in fact two, one inside the castle and one outside along with a cafe. Prices are as expected in these kinds of places.

I was there on a bit of a rainy day, do I have not seen much of the gardens. What I saw was nice and well kept. The castle tour itself is small, but nice and everything is lovingly arranged. The absolute highlight was the seal tour! When I saw the size of the boats, I second guessed my decision, but it turned out amazing! We where lucky that a lot of seals where out and we got really close, while respectfully keeping our distance. The seals did not seem to bother. The staff throughout was really friendly and helpful. The combo ticket garden & castle might be a bit expensive with 17£ (the seal tour is extra) but I still enjoyed it very much

All the staff we encountered were friendly and polite. The castle itself is great - a few surprises on the way round. The exhibits are interesting and varied. I was with my father who needs a wheelchair for walking long distances. The staff at the payment counter and at the entrance to the castle were courteous and thoughtful. The website is also open and honest about its accessibility. An excellent visit.

A great day out, lovely to go inside the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland. Some wonderful art and artifacts on display. Wouldn't fancy a spell in the dungeon. A nice welcome from one of the guides. The views from the castle were amazing. We spent a couple of hours wandering around the beautiful gardens, so well laid out, a beautiful waterfall, and the giant 2.7 tonne pebble you can spin around. The trees 🌳 and plants were spectacular. We had a delicious late lunch in the café, good toilet facilities in the car park. Large car park, busy because it was a hot sunny day. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Friendly welcoming staff. Beautifully kept castle and garden grounds. Garden feature of waterful is beautifully landscaped. The Walled garden with vegetable patch glasshouse with exotic plants was pretty. They have boat tours to see the seals dependent on weather. The Food at the cafe was really tasty. Husband had brie and bacon panini and I had a very nice quiche.

This place was awesome!!! The castle was very, very cool, but the gardens were just kick ass. I love taking closeup flower pics, and i probably took over 100 different flower shots, but with my camera, so can't post here unless I edit later... I think we spent about 4 hrs here. Would have loved to sit down and just relaxed for another.

We visited mid week and found there was plenty of parking. The entry fee was on a par with other such like places. The castle itself is not the most splendid we have visited, Crathes and Bamburgh are more spectacular, but there is plenty to see. The inside of the castle was fairly busy, and walking round was like follow your leader. The gardens are very well kept, and there is a seal boat trip which we didn't take. All in all it was well worth the visit

This a lovely stop if you’re interested in history. A little group of preserved Croft houses chock full of interesting objects and stories, so not a standard museum experience, but in my opinion all the better for it! There is a lot of information on the display boards as other reviewers have mentioned, but you can still enjoy the museum without reading them all in detail if you’re not a “read the label” kind of person. I just chose the most interesting ones and read those 😊 It’s a treasure and so lovely to see the heritage of the island kept preserved and kept alive. The gift shop was great, with all the usual souvenirs, books and a few Skye-made options if you prefer your souvenirs local. There were also a couple of detailed information booklets available about some of the subjects covered by the museum. Staff lovely. There’s a toilet block in the car park. These were fine although a little dark. There is also a small cafe opposite which sells delicious pies and has a great selection of drinks. Also gives access to go see a couple highland coos.

Fascinating museum, well worth a visit. Original crofters cottage. Information about Skye's history, geology and lots more. As well the museum, there is a great little deli and takeaway, they do lovely hot pies and coffee. 😋

Fairly large carpark but gets busy so if you're in a motorhome get there early. Its a busy single track road with plenty of passing places so take your time. Full of history, well worth a visit

The Skye Museum of Island Life is a charming and authentic glimpse into the traditional way of life in the Scottish Highlands. Set in a cluster of restored thatched cottages, the museum tells the story of crofting communities from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each cottage is thoughtfully curated, showcasing period furniture, tools, clothing, and household items that bring the history of the islanders vividly to life. The location itself is breathtaking, with sweeping views of the surrounding hills and coastline, making the visit as much about the scenery as the heritage. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, adding personal anecdotes and local context to the exhibits. It’s a small museum, but it’s packed with fascinating details, and you can easily spend an hour or more exploring at a relaxed pace. Well worth the visit for anyone interested in history, culture, and the spirit of the Isle of Skye.

This well-preserved collection of crofter houses contains multiple exhibits featuring island life. Seven beautifully conserved houses contain technology related to weaving, blacksmithing, home keeping and more. The site also has a great coffee place with delicious cakes. Well worth a visit. 👍👍👍

A collection of low dwellings showing how the islanders used to live, situated on a long single track road to the north end of the island. Worth a visit, and you can easily spend a few hours walking around

Nice quiet place to learn how people before us lived. It shows that we could live with less. And the Highland Coos were an added benefit.

Cant really give this any type of review as it was closed to the public due to roof damage on the day we stopped. We ended up going into a little art gallery about 100 meters past this place

The museum is closed until further notice due to roof damage - as the website link shows. Unfortunately I don't know how to edit the Google info for 'temporary' closure rather than permanent.

Appears to be closed without much of a trace. Google maps location is not accurate but the scenery gets a 2nd star anyway.

Very interesting visited about 4 years ago

was destroyed, nearly completely :'(

Nice to se this is how the people lived

Worth a trip..

This was a really neat little place to stop. The demonstration area was interesting and the staff upstairs were friendly and happy to provide information on all the different offerings. They have really beautiful products.

On one of our many visits to the Isle of Skye we make a point of visiting various places. Not just the ‘touristy’ spots but interesting and unique places, because Skye has so many. So, on our last trip we “revisited” a popular place for us. The Skyeskyns Waternish Tannery where we were transported back in time to see how real sheepskins are made using time honoured methods of leather making - one of the oldest crafts known to man, and still practiced here on the island. I’ll mention now that it worth while dropping in here. To see what literally comes off a sheep, to what you end up with is remarkably interesting and gives you an insight into just what goes on behind the scenes to produce the end product. Our guide, this time ( sorry I’ve forgotten her name 😲), who is an expert in the local area, and all things Skyskins. She has a fabulous knowledge about the whole process, is friendly, and has a wonderful sense of humour, making the entire journey ( as always ) not only informative but also genuinely fun. What truly sets Skyskins apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. From the seamless booking process to the personalized attention we received, every detail was handled with professionalism and care. It’s clear that the team love what they do, and it shows in the quality of the tour and the products produced. Travelling through Skye the sights on the island are simply breathtaking, there’s a’vista’ around virtually every corner. You can appreciate why the place is so popular and a ‘must visit’ for anyone. The route we take is always well-planned, taking us to some of the most stunning and secluded spots that we would have never found, sticking to the main thoroughfare. From Skyskins, you’re a stones throw from the Lochbay , a beautiful BnB with lovely hosts and amazing views. Very high-quality finish, really comfortable bed. And if you time it right you could have lunch at the Stein Inn, although it’s been there since 1790, today your best trying to book before you arrive. Plus on the way to the Stein in you’ll pass Loch Bay House, a previous residence of Donovan ( back to the 60’s, … remember ?) He bought it in the 1970s and often spoke about his love for the area and its natural beauty. Loch Bay House as a significant part of his life, serving as a retreat and a place of inspiration for his music. Anyway, enough of me rabbiting on and on about Skye, Skyskins, and everything Skye related, if you have a free week at some point I would recommend popping over to the island, whether by ferry or the bridge. In season or out of it you’ll always find a friendly welcome ( if it’s open ) However, I can't recommend Skyskins highly enough. If you're looking for an amazing, well-organized, and truly memorable adventure, look no further. This is an absolute must-do!

Fantastic tour and explanation on the whole process. Really worth 20-40 mins to see the working portion of their amazing store and then touch your way through the shop to feel the different skins. I understand this is the only shop if it’s kind left in Scotland and they are very Eco friendly with the new processes which is good for your skin and health when you lay on the skins. Very enjoyable visit and a variety of products (pillows, key chains, coffee cup cozies) if you don’t need a rug or gloves. Plus nice coffee shop with all the chairs covered in a comfortable sheep skin!! Really think it should be a top visit (castles are everywhere - this was really unique and memorable).

Informative tour of how sheepskins are made! Friendly staff and a nice collection of well-priced products.

Really neat place open 7 days a week. They have an actual tour of the tannery or you can walk in at any time and watch a short video and look at the tannery. The showroom upstairs is friendly and has a large selection of hides, shoes, clothing and accessories. The associate who helped us was super nice and welcoming.

Amazing shop and farm. They have a showroom with sheepskins and many wool items that are gorgeous. Staff is friendly and attentive. There is also a cute little coffee shop in a yurt with amazing view of the ocean. Highly recommend!

What an incredible shop which also has an on site tannery. A superb selection of rugs included sheep wool and cow hide. We went and bought a wool rug. Quality is excellent and extremely friendly staff. A range of other produce was on display including jumpers and hats. So glad we visited whilst on Skye. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely experience.

This is an amazing find, hidden away on one of the roads around the Dunvegan area. The staff were delightful, and even Molly the Spaniel made an appearance to say hello. The jewellery is just stunning. My husband bought me a beautiful necklace to remind me of our Highland adventure. Would highly recommend a visit and look inside.

I had the most amazing customer service scenario with Skye Silver recently. They were so diligent and helpful and went way above and beyond to solve my issue. Support amazing places like this please everyone. Thank you so much Skye Silver for all that you have done for us!! Cheers - David

I phoned on a Saturday afternoon as I was looking for a Thistle Pendant as a gift for someone, but I needed it by the Thursday, before I flew out to visit them. Elizabeth was very friendly and helpful. She assured me that the pendant would be posted by tracked mail on the Monday. I received it on the Tuesday, and it is perfect for what I wanted. Great products and great customer service.

Our (English) daughter recently married a Scot. And so we thought it a good idea to buy her a Skye Silver bracelet…which she loves. Many thanks to Sky Silver’s Elizabeth for making the idea work.

Bought a beautiful Skye Pebble pendant 2 years ago which I recently lost. Luckily I was able to buy a new one from Skye Silver, they made it all very easy, and it arrived safely (in Australia!) today. Highly recommend for quality products and great service.

Bought a set of Celtic birthstone jewellery, (pendant, earrings and bracelet), for my wife for anniversary, birthday and Christmas, which happily fall very close to each other. The pieces I received are quite remarkable and very beautiful; the photos do NOT do them the justice they deserve. Thank you Stewart and Elizabeth for solving this year's dilemma :) I'll be back :)

I can't recommend Skye Silver highly enough. Beautiful jewellery and above-and-beyond customer service. Can't wait to visit them on Skye on a future visit when things settle down, hopefully in 2021. Thanks again Skye Silver !

We almost decided against the drive over here but it ended up absolutely worth it. Seeing the pedal-made tweed in person was very cool and we ended up buying a few pieces. Some are even made with Skye wool!

Just bought what I hoped to find on Skye, a beautiful blue wool blanket. Many choices and colours. Nice to have a go on the loom. Placed on our van bed, what a difference it made in warmth.

Lovely little shop tucked away in the Isle of Skye close to the Neist Lighthouse. You will need to open the gate to the driveway, park, and then walk about 50m to the shop. We first saw one of the staff on the bicycle loom as we approached, and he showed us how it worked. Fascinating, and quite complex! We then had a go at the bicycle loom before we moved on to the shop and bought the most gorgeous and soft handwoven scarf.

Lovely owners and absolutely stunning pieces. Very glad that we took the bumpy road to get here and we left with 3 beautiful pieces. We also learned a lot about weaving and the work that goes into it. If you’re deciding whether to go - definitely go!

Just incredible. The experience of seeing how the finished product is made and then having the opportunity to buy some finely woven pieces for very reasonable prices. A must stop on the way to Neist Point, and something to put onto the itinerary when visiting Skye.

We enjoyed learning about how these beautiful products were made. We even got a turn at pedaling the loom. A memorable experience. We walked out with a beautiful blanket and souvenir gift for family. Thank you!

A must-do and highlight of our trip to the Isle of Skye. Roger gave us an in depth explanation and demonstration of the preparation of the warp threads for a new weave, as well as both pedal looms (and we got to have a go on one!). It was fascinating to see how the different settings on the loom are used to create different patterns and textures in the finished fabric. On top of this the woven items for sale are high quality, beautiful, and incredibly well priced. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

The drive is along a narrow single track with passing places. There is a free carpark at the end but with limited places and the ground is quite rough. Some construction work was being done at the end, possible new carpark?. Short easy walk to the beach. Well worth a visit.

Very pleasant afternoon along this walk. Not strenuous at all. 2 small hills easily to climb. The beach is very spacious and no concerns with people being on top of each other. Recommend walking further along the beach and around the bend for further privacy. The wind was blowing quite strongly of the water but the sun kept us warm.

What an absolutely stunning spot. The walk down from the car park is about a mile. It's a little up and down, but track all the way. And when you head over the last little slope, the initial sight of the beach is worth it! Breathe taking, I could have spent hours and hours there. Do watch out if walking along in bare feet or with a dog as there were a lot of jellyfish washed up on the water line (last photo). Also watch out for the seaweed, if you step on it, it's a little stinky!!

Coral beach is stunning, but getting there was a nightmare. Single track road, some has been resurfaced,some hasn't, big tyre thudding pot holes. The car park was horrendous, we waited for a space but there isn't room for cars leaving and cars entering, much reversing and shuffling. The walk to the beach was lovely, about 25 mins. The sand made of millions of crushed shells 🐚 was beautiful, sea clear and cool. We were lucky to walk to Lampey as it was low tide, stunning scenery.

Unbelievable, even with a lot of wind and rain! It was a nice walk and well worth it! Bring your hiking shoes 🥾🥾

Beautiful beach. Well worth the visit. Small parking area so plan accordingly. Short 5-10 min walk to beach.

Quite a long but easy walk down to beach from parking. About 20 mins. Looked to be a popular camp spot. Lovely views.

It's a must do in isle of skye as it has the most beautiful scenery of the sea and the lighthouse. Parking is free. No toilet though. But be forewarned that its a long winding path up and down steps and some parts a bit steep to walk to the lighthouse. Along the way watch out for sheep poop on the pathway.

Neist Point has to be one of the most breathtaking places I’ve visited in Scotland. Located on the rugged west coast of the Isle of Skye, this cliffside spot offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, and the lighthouse perched on the edge feels like something out of a dream. The drive to Neist Point alone is an adventure. As you wind through the narrow roads, the landscape becomes more dramatic, with mountains and coastal cliffs framing the route. Once you get to the parking lot, you’re treated to a panoramic view that stretches all the way to the horizon. The lighthouse stands tall against the waves, and the wind—oh, it’s wild! It feels like you’ve reached the end of the world. The walk down to the lighthouse is about a 20-minute stroll, and while it’s a bit steep in parts, it’s worth every step. The scenery along the way is unreal—rocky cliffs drop straight into the sea, and if you’re lucky, you might spot some seals or dolphins playing in the water below. The wind might be fierce, but it only adds to the raw beauty of the place. When you reach the lighthouse, the view is something I won’t forget. You’re standing at the edge of the cliffs, looking out over the open ocean, with nothing but waves crashing below you. It’s peaceful yet awe-inspiring. The lighthouse itself is charming and gives the spot a bit of a mystical, isolated feel. The place isn’t overcrowded, especially if you visit early in the morning or later in the evening, which makes it perfect for some quiet reflection. There are no facilities on-site except for a small parking lot, so bring your own snacks or water if you plan to spend time there. Also, wear sturdy shoes, as the paths can be uneven and slippery, especially after rain.

A wonder of a man-made structure combining with Nature's impressive feats! It's quite a trail, from the car park to the lighthouse itself, and the drive there is itself a little bit of a thrill (like so many of the back country roads in Scotland), but it's definitely worth doing! The views are stunning and the lighthouse structure is in good condition! The stations was also equipped with a fog horn installation, clearly seen even today (though defunct in function). It had a cable car to lower provisions down to the lower trail (from the car park (road) level and even a boat landing and an old crane located above it, to rise the provisions at times of impassable roads (or before the road even existed!) it seams... Very nice indeed!

Due to time restraints we chose not to walk to the lighthouse, instead we walked north of the entrance along the ridge and relaxed and took photos from the viewpoint. There are some bogs you must cross to reach the viewpoint, so it is recommended you wear hiking boots. One of us was wearing white sneakers, and let’s just say they weren’t white after our visit 😂 Plenty of free parking

Apart from the stunning views the drive to Neist Point is amazing, and once you arrive at the carpark it just takes your breath away. depending what time of year you go have good boots and coat and a woolly hat and take care around the cliffs is most important.

First- amazing views. Well worth the drive. We didn't hike down to the lighthouse due to time restrictions, but some amazing sights from above. Easy walk from where you park. Not a formal parking lot, but can find a spot on the side of the road pending how many travel campers are there. The drive to the lighthouse is something. The roads were currently being worked on, with the older roads being in pretty bad shape. Plan to take your time, but it will be worth it. Try to get there as early as possible.

Incredible place to see. It’s quite a trek down and back up again, but worthwhile. The road to get here is not good, but at least there is quite a bit of parking when you arrive.
