About This Tour
The Isle of Skye, often called the “Misty Isle,” is one of Scotland’s most dramatic and enchanting places. It is famous for its jagged mountain ranges, sweeping sea cliffs, and landscapes shaped by ancient landslides. Highlights include the Trotternish Ridge with landmarks like the Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing, the colourful harbour town of Portree, and natural wonders such as waterfalls that plunge straight into the sea and the crystal-clear Fairy Pools. Skye also has deep cultural roots, from clan castles like Dunvegan to world-renowned whisky at Talisker. What makes Skye truly special is the way geology, legend, and beauty come together – it feels both wild and magical, a place where every view could be a painting and every landmark has a story.
