Visiting the Isle of Skye has always projected onto us a magical feeling nurtured over the years by the many films, books and travel editions filmed by the untamed Scotland. And if, at first, when planning our trip to the United Kingdom, it crossed our minds to escape the tourist bustle that its notoriety gave it, we immediately concluded that we would never forgive ourselves for having been so close to it without visiting it.
We had to go to the island that everyone talks about. We had to go to the island that everyone visits when they get lost in Scotland. So, having just completed the route along the North Coast 500, one of Scotland’s most beautiful routes, the Isle of Skye became the next stage.
About the Isle of Skye
Skye in Scotland is a scenic island world renowned for its rugged landscapes around mountains and dramatic cliffs by the sea. With an island territory over 80 km long this is the largest island of the Inner Hebrides, the archipelago of the Scottish west coast, in which it is embedded.
Portree is the capital. A small, colourful coastal town perfectly nestled in a picturesque cove. Dunvengan, Uig, Edinbane and Staffin are the main villages to visit in the north of the island. In the south, Broadford, Armadale, Carbost, Elgol and Kyleakin are the small villages that stand out.
