The Isle of Skye on the west of Scotland is just frigging beautiful and a must see on a visit to the country.  It’s easy to get to from the mainland thanks to the Skye Bridge!  One of the highlights of the trip would have to be taking the boat ride from Elgol up to the Cuillin Mountain Range.  The view of the Cuillins from the sea is stunning and as part of the boat ride you will be allowed to get off at the foot of the mountains to explore the area.

If camping is your cup of tea then spending a few nights at Sligachan camp site is highly recommended.  Here you will be treated to more stunning views of the Cuillins and the Sligachan hotel has a huge selection of whisky to make your way thorough if the weather isn’t so good outside (or even if it is!)

Further north, a walk to the Quiraing on the Trotternish Ridge is well worth doing to get your fill as far as dramatic scenery goes!

Then once you are finished here, head over to the west and visit the coral beach at Dunvegan or the Talisker Whisky Distillery (yes more whisky:P) Skye is actually bigger than it looks on the map and there is heaps to do.  I was here for 6 days and still felt like I could have done with a few more so take plenty of time to explore this beautiful island if you can!
