Isle of Skye - Self Guided Walking Holidays Scotland

The EasyWays Skye Tour takes you to the best parts of this beautiful island offering a variation on choice of routes on the island.

The heritage of Skye exists in the landscape, from the dinosaur footprints in the rocks at Staffin Bay in North Skye, to the Neolithic chambered cairns and stone circles scattered around the countryside.

The Skye of today is is shaped by historic events leading from the demise of the clan system and recognition of this living heritage is still held very strongly today enriching much of the highland spirit evident throughout the island.

Beginning at Ardvasar our Isle of Skye Spectacular will take you to the most southerly point at Sleat with its picturesque lighthouse and remote sandy bay before a truly wonderful coastline walk through Coille Dalavil and the Ancient Clan Donald ruins to Tarskavaig.

Continue from Broadford over remote Glasnakillie and Elgol before a dramatic walk alongside Loch Scavaig with views of Seal Island and the impressive Cuillin Mountains all around. An option to cross Loch Scavaig by small ferry is offered here to reduce the walk distance.

Complete this section via the decent into Glen Sligachan to end at the Sligachan Hotel where true Scottish Hospitality awaits in the form of a choice over 100 whiskys before heading north to Portree where our walk then provides a number of options to suit every taste.

Skye offers something for everyone, ranging from a visit to the Talisker Distillery at Carbost or the crystal clear water of the Fairy Pools on the River Brittle to the mighty Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing in the northern Trotternish Ridge. While these are just a few of the popular tourist destinations, more remote areas of the island provide spectacular views not to be missed and EasyWays will tailor a route to match your expectations.
