Skye Bridge - Before the era of warring clans, Skye was part of significant geological transformations. The stunning landscapes seen on this tour are the result of millions of years of land elevation, flooding, convergence, separation, and reshaping by massive lava flows and volcanic eruptions, followed by ice sheets sculpting the terrain.

Armadale - The Sleat Peninsula is home to the ruins of Armadale Castle, a MacDonald stronghold where the clan resided during the 18th century.

Sleat - Armadale Castle is located on the Sleat Peninsula, often referred to as “The Garden of Skye” due to its fertile soil.

Leitir Fura - To walk to Leitir Fura, turn left onto the side road ahead, following signs for Kinloch Forest and Leitir Fura Road. This road ends at a public parking area after about a mile.

Loch na Keal - The navigable sounds and sea lochs made the Hebrides appealing to Norse adventurers in the 8th century, with the first Viking raid on Skye recorded in 794.

Dunscaith Castle - Dunscaith Castle, the original seat of the MacDonalds of Sleat, has been fortified, destroyed, rebuilt, captured, and recaptured numerous times over the centuries, with its origins shrouded in history.

Caisteal Maol - Now in ruins, this castle is part of Skye’s enchanting scenery. It can be seen ahead on the left, near a brown sign for Torabhaig Distillery. Beyond the distillery, a stone tower is visible on a hill overlooking the sea.

Broadford - Approaching the optional side trip to Elgol, a coastal village about 40 minutes from Broadford on a narrow road. Elgol is a popular spot for boat tours through glacial lochs and visiting seal colonies.

Elgol - Elgol is a seaside village that has thrived since the Middle Ages, ideally located for fishing and crofting, where Allt Port na Cullaidh flows into Loch Scavaig.

Boreraig - Boreraig offers a hauntingly beautiful hike through an abandoned village, starting at the Church of Kilchrist and covering just over 6 miles round-trip.

Torrin - Known for its marble and limestone quarries, the marble quarry is visible ahead on the left, appearing as a line of silver-white stone rising above the farmland.

Blà Bheinn - Although Blà Bheinn is closer to the Red Cuillins range, it consists of the same igneous rock, gabbro, as the Black Cuillins range to the west, leading geologists to theorize it as an outlier of that range.

Scalpay, Eas a’ Bhradain, Glamaig

Sligachan Old Bridge - The Sligachan Old Bridge, a 19th-century stone bridge, offers a picturesque view over the rocky river with the majestic Black Cuillins in the background.

Portree - Portree, the unofficial capital of Skye, serves as an excellent base for visitors exploring the island. A visitor center is located on Bayfield Road, just off the Village Square.

Bride’s Veil Falls - Bride’s Veil Falls is approaching. Curious about the name? When the waterfall is at full flow, it cascades down the rocks in narrow rivulets, connecting randomly to resemble a lacey bridal veil.

The Old Man of Storr - Once part of a plateau, the Old Man of Storr stands as surrounding rock has eroded over time.

Lealt Falls - A powerful waterfall plunging into a deep, cold-water pool at the bottom of a gorge. A quick visit is highly recommended.

Brother’s Point (Rubha nam Brathairean) - Brother’s Point is a narrow rocky land extension from Trotternish. Paths to notable sites can be steep and slippery, so sturdy shoes and good footing are essential.

Staffin - Staffin is a hub for several attractions worth visiting in Trotternish, including hunting for dinosaur footprints at An Corran Beach, touring the Jurassic Skye Museum, and hiking the Quiraing cliffs.

An Corran Beach - An Corran Beach is next, a popular spot for finding fossilized dinosaur footprints. Passing through Staffin first, it’s a good place to stop before heading to the beach.

Duntulm Castle - Duntulm Castle is the remains of a Pictish Iron Age dun, a small fortified structure built from dry stone.
