Welcome To the Isle of Skye Tour
Discover everything this enchanted island has to offer with this narrated driving tour.
The Isle of Skye is chock-full of incredible hikes, fairytale castles, and scenic ruins. As you explore, the audio narration will share the history, mythology, and science behind the rich landscape. Thanks to the wide variety of terrain, the walks here vary from gentle strolls to challenging treks – there’s something for everyone here!
Hike the Quiraing, a grassy crater surrounded by basalt pillars, making it look like a giant’s theater. A little north, you can search An Corran beach for fossilized dinosaur footprints. History more your speed? There’s plenty to spare on Skye. You’ll hear the dramatic tales of clan feuds, the revenge of a one-eyed bride, and quasi-mythical warrior women. And of course, don’t forget about Bonnie Prince Charlie’s dramatic escape “over the sea to Skye!”
Tour Dunvegan Castle and hear the tales of the Fairy Flag and Roy Mor’s Horn. Swim in the Fairy Pools, or sit on the beach along Neist Point and watch the whales in the summertime. Walk through the abandoned village of Boreiag and hear the haunting tale of the Highland Clearances, or pay your respects to Flora MacDonald at Kilmuir Cemetery.
Do you want to see it all without being glued to a phone screen or getting lost among the sheep? I’ve got you covered. Just drive along the country roads and listen as the stories roll along. But seriously – do watch out for the sheep. They’re mostly free range!
