Eat Sleep Drink your way around the Isle of Skye

Find your ‘Happy’ on the Isle of Skye. Iconic Locations, Dramatic Coastlines, Captivating History—any of these words will do when describing the largest island of the Inner Hebrides in the Scottish Highlands.  Skye has a dark enthralling past from clan warfare, the Jacobite rebellion & the infamous story of ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’ to the brutality of the highland clearances of the 18th & early 19th centuries.

The bustling town of Portree and the larger villages of Broadford, Dunvegan & Kyleakin make a great base for exploring the island and offer a wide range of facilities, attractions & activities for visiting tourists.  Take a stroll down to Portree harbour with its painted buildings & stunning views across to the Island of Raasay, when conditions permit & sea legs allow take an organised boat trip around the island taking in the rugged beauty of the coastline & the local wildlife or if history is your thing visit any of the 7 castles that range from ruins to grand houses full of historic charm & folklore.

For lovers of all things outdoors, head to the majestic Cuillin Range of mountains, where you can bag a Munro or 12 if you’re super keen!  Skye is synonymous with the Quiraing, one of the most iconic landscapes in Scotland. Wait for a clear day, take a hearty lunch & your camera, and go explore the area with its high cliffs, hidden plateaus, & rock pinnacles (google ‘Old Man of Storr'). Whatever you do if you’re passing through, stop and stay for a while and enjoy ‘What’s on’ offer on the Island of Skye!
