Isle of Skye Walking Tour
Isle of Skye, United Kingdom
Why Walk Isle of Skye
Skye is the largest of Scotland's Inner Hebrides, an island of otherworldly landscapes shaped by volcanic geology and Atlantic weather. The Trotternish Ridge's bizarre pinnacles, the Cuillin mountains, coastal cliffs, and medieval castles create a landscape of raw beauty. Connected to the mainland by a bridge, Skye is one of the most popular destinations in the Scottish Highlands.
