About this trip

Venture off the beaten track in some of the worlds most inspiring scenery!

This is an Intermediate level unmarked route of 127km (79 miles) through the island of Skye.

​​

However the rewards as you walk south from the most northerly point on the island are many in terms of:

Spectacular mountain views - passing under the shadow of the Jagged Cuillin, the finest mountain range in Britain;

Coastal scenery - from beaches to cliff-tops in areas that are remarkable but almost unvisited;

Haunting ruins of deserted villages - destroyed in the highland clearances;

Visiting small island communities, and;

The superb opportunities for watching wildlife.


This trip has been devised for those who prefer to get well away from the beaten track

An adventure never to be forgotten!​
