Overview

Download GuideAlong’s Isle of Skye audio tour to explore Scotland’s famous “Misty Isle”. Spectacular landscapes, rugged mountains, and dramatic vistas appear at every turn, from the iconic Old Man of Storr and the rugged Quiraing to the crystal-clear Fairy Pools and the cliffs of Neist Point.

The island's natural wonders are also soaked in mythology. Skye is full of fairytale castles and ruins straight from legend. Watching the seabirds circle above the waves or the seals relax on the rocks, it’s easy to see why this island has inspired so many tales of shape-shifting selkies and fairy princesses.

Activity itinerary

The Old Man of Storr

Hear the legend of giants, transformations, and magical promises at this 160-foot-high basalt pillar that juts straight up from the Trotternish Ridge. You can venture among the rocks to climb the rocky ridge on the most popular walk on Skye, or just admire The Storr from gentler terrain as you hear about Skye’s prehistoric volcanic era that created these stunning natural sculptures - and the myths that echo through the stones.

Fairy Pools

Walk through the quiet wood, dotted with wildflowers and filled with birdsong, to discover crystal-clear waterfalls and ice-blue pools of the Fairy Pools, with the massive Black Cuillins providing a dramatic mountainous backdrop. Visitors can go for a dip in the pools at the end of a gentle walk down a forested path, or just enjoy the transcendent feeling of discovering a hidden enchanted world among the sheltering mountains.

The Quiraing

No trip to Skye would be complete without visiting this rocky crater surrounded by otherworldly basalt formations. Visitors can take the 4.2-mile rocky hike to see naturally carved monuments like The Prison and The Needle, contrasting with glassy slopes and tumbled rocks that define this prehistoric landslip. A winding drive up to the observation point rewards visitors with a stunning landscape full of steep slopes, carved rocks, and dramatic stone-meets-sky vistas that look straight out of Middle Earth.

Dunvegan Castle & Gardens

20m
Admission ticket not included

Visit the oldest continuously occupied castle in Scotland at Dunvegan, the seat of Clan MacLeod for over 800 years. Explore five acres of formal gardens and wooded paths here, then venture inside to tour the 18th-century drawing rooms, the forbidding stone dungeon, and public galleries that hold treasures like the Fairy Flag, the Dunvegan Cup, and Roy Mor’s Horn - and hear the legends and prophecies that accompany each precious artefact.

Neist Point

Climb the steps to the top of rocky promontory Neist Point, where the lighthouse still guides sailors through the tricky waters of the Inner Hebrides. The steep climb comes with spectacular vistas of the sea, and the small stone towers left by generations before. Seeing the rocky coastal views from this height at sunset is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience - especially if some whales are cruising along on their own annual summer holiday nearby!

Fairy Glen

Called the Quiraing in miniature because of its otherworldly, spiraling rock formations, the Fairy Glen offers a delightful walk through miniature lochs, green hills, and strange stone sculptures. Tucked within the more drastic scenery of Skye, its green paths are a welcome retreat.

Kilt Rock

The uniquely folded basalt rocks that resemble a traditional Scottish kilt seem to ripple down the cliffs in careful pleats, as roaring waves and sea spray crash up against the rocks. They’re so distinctive that they’ve been used as a landmark for sailors for centuries! Adding to the drama, Mealt Waterfall drops straight into the ocean next to Kilt Rock in a thundering cascade of crashing water.

Sligachan Old Bridge

The legends say that visitors to this scenic stone bridge along the drive to Dunvegan can gain eternal beauty simply by dipping their faces in the enchanted waters that flow beneath - but if they don’t placate the Fair Folk correctly, they may have tricks played on them instead! With the Cuillins looming in the background of the Sligachan Glen, this scenic spot looks straight out of a medieval legend.

Coral Beach

When the sun reflects off the surprisingly white beach and clear water, visitors might think they’ve accidentally crossed through a secret passage into the tropics! This is a uniquely Scottish beach, though, deposited over millennia by the dried and crushed marl-seaweed that is bleached in the sun and washes onto this sheltered beach, where it mimics white sand. Pick some up and marvel at the tiny pieces that mimic dried coral.

Lealt Falls

One of the most dramatic waterfalls on the island, Lealt Falls tumbles down the carved rock ledges of a tree-lined gorge before crashing into the ice-cold plunge pool below. Take in the sights from the elevated viewing platform, or adventurers can take a zig-zag path down to the shoreline on the wooden steps and walkways, to stroll the beach below and see the abandoned smokehouses and diatomite factory that hint at Skye’s industrial past.

Armadale Castle, Gardens & Museum

10m
Admission ticket not included

Explore the rich history of the MacDonalds of Sleat, stretching all the way back to the 15th century. 40 acres of public gardens envelop the picturesque ruined castles, set in the gentle rolling hills of the southern woodlands. Famous for its museum commemorating clan history, visitors to Armadale can delve deep into the stories and feuds that once inflamed the island, then gaze across the Sound of Sleat to take in views of the misty mainland.

An Corran Beach

Discover Skye’s “Jurassic Coast,” where a stroll along the black sand beach can reveal hidden evidence of Skye’s prehistoric past. When the tide is fully out, sandstone bedrock reveals the fossilised imprints of three-toed hadrosaur footprints! Remember just to take photos here. Then, dive deeper into Scotland’s dino lore at the nearby Staffin Fossil Museum, which holds an internationally-acclaimed collection of fossilised bones, footprints, shells, plus more artefacts from Skye’s natural history.

Bride's Veil Falls

Delicate lines of water join together in a complex interwoven net, giving the Bride’s Veil Falls its name. Visitors who arrive after a rainfall are in for a special treat - the “veil” is especially full and runs dramatically down the hill. Visitors who climb to the top of the waterfall can see the Old Man of Storr from this spot or even capture a photo with both sights in one frame.

Duntulm Castle

Perched high above the ocean on a dramatic basalt promontory, the ruins of 14th and 15th-century Duntulm offer sweeping views of the coastline and seabirds, along with persistent rumours of the unsettled spirits who still linger. Hear legends of the castle stretching all the way back to the Iron Age, through the Viking Era, and as an embattled stronghold of Clan MacDonald as we wander the hills for spectacular views of the ruins.

Rha Waterfalls

These peaceful falls tumble through the mossy rocks of this hidden glen. Just a short walk up a simple stepped path from Uig, Rha Waterfall feels like a secluded hideout. The unique double waterfall is especially beautiful after heavy rain, with water tumbling over the rocks and filling a burbling creek. Eagles have been spotted here, making Rha the perfect expedition for nature lovers away from the crowds of busier spots.

Rigg Viewpoint

Gaze out over the sea to the Hebrides islands, and even on clear days all the way to the mainland. This view offers everything that visitors adore about Skye: expansive views of sea and sky alongside a tranquil pastoral setting. The peaceful green pastures stretch all the way to the cliffline and place you at the centre of this gorgeous scenery, where the world seems to stretch out endlessly in all directions.

Rubha Hunish

Explorers willing to brave this northernmost tip of the Isle of Skye are in for a rewarding hike. The trail leads visitors to the remote outlook over the sea - a perfect place to spot seabirds, seals, and whales enjoying the rugged beauty of the rocky coastline jutting out into the Atlantic. Full of outstanding views, Duntulm can just be seen from Rubha Hunish’s coast, and the cliffs are a favourite spot for nesting seabirds.

Dun Beag Broch

Standing guard over the countryside atop a rocky knoll, Dun Beach bears silent witness to the land, just as it has done for 2,500 years. Visitors can climb to the top of this Stone Age broch - meaning fortified tower - and imagine keeping watch for armed invaders from the sea. The broch’s drystone construction still stands tall and proud and provides a stable ascent, all these centuries later.
