From Lochalsh is where you take the bridge over the sea to Skye. The bridge was built in 1995 where as before the main access was by ferry (which still runs). The romantic Isle of Skye has become famous ever since the writing of Sir Walter Scott. Surrounded by a beautiful coastline and the skyline is dominated by the Cuillin Hills. The Cullin hills are the highest places on the island and suggest for experienced hikers. The views from the top are among the greatest in Britain. Dunvegan Castle is the most famous on the island, it is the stronghold of the Clan MacLeod dating back to the 14th century. Visitors are welcome to explore the public rooms in the castle, the famous Fairy Flag said to have given them magical powers in battle, and wander the castle's extensive wooded grounds. Portree is the main town on Skye, set round a natural harbour, it has much to offer for tourists including range of accommodations. Just north of Potree is the Trotternish Ridge with its strange cliff formations creating unique landscape, such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, and the Quiraing Needle Rock. Along the coast as well is Duntulm Castle, and the Skye Museum of Island exhibiting a village with cottages how it was in the 18th century. Towards the southern end of Skye in Sleat are Armadale Castle, and the Museum of the Isles with 6 galleries taking you through 1500 years of the history and culture of the area once known as the Kingdom of the Isles. The Isle of Skye is an amazing place and a must to include on your itinerary when touring Scotland.
